As prompted by current research interests in the research group, this seminar contains two somewhat unrelated parts:

  * Part I: Kalman filter applications and implementation

  * Part II: System Modeling and Identification in Nano-MEMS Applications

The first part addresses implementation issues in Kalman filtering targeting sensor fusion in navigation. We will survey various different Kalman filters with attention to real-time software implementation and identification issues. Extensions such as the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) will be covered.

The second part addresses issues in modeling and identification of nano-MEMS systems. Identifiability issues related to availability of measurements will be discussed.
