In this article we introduce the use of recently developed min/max-plus techniques in order to solve the optimal attitude estimation problem in filtering for nonlinear systems on the special orthogonal (SO(3)) group. This work helps obtain computationally efficient methods for the synthesis of deterministic filters for nonlinear systems -- i.e. optimal filters which estimate the state using a related optimal control problem. The technique indicated herein is validated using a set of optimal attitude estimation example problems on SO(3).

We develop a model predictive control (MPC) design for systems with discrete-time dynamics evolving on smooth manifolds. We show that the properties of conventional MPC for dynamics evolving on $mathbb R^n$ are preserved and we develop a design procedure for achieving similar properties. We also demonstrate that for discrete-time dynamics on manifolds with Euler characteristic not equal to 1, there do not exist globally stabilizing, continuous control laws. The MPC law is able to achieve global asymptotic stability on these manifolds, because the MPC law may be discontinuous. We apply the method to spacecraft attitude control, where the spacecraft attitude evolves on the Lie group SO(3) and for which a continuous globally stabilizing control law does not exist. In this case, the MPC law is discontinuous and achieves global stability.
The problem of attitude tracking using rotation matrices is addressed using an approach which combines inverse optimality and $mathcal{L}_{2}$ disturbance attenuation. Conditions are provided which solve the inverse optimal nonlinear $H_{infty}$ control problem by minimizing a meaningful cost function. The approach guarantees that the energy gain from an exogenous disturbance to a specified error signal respects a given upper bound. For numerical simulations, a simple problem setup from literature is considered and results demonstrate competitive performance.
A robust (deterministic) filtering approach to the problem of optimal sensor selection is considered herein. For a given system with several sensors, at each time step the output of one of the sensors must be chosen in order to obtain the best state estimate. We reformulate this problem in an optimal control framework which can then be solved using dynamic programming. In order to tackle the numerical computation of the solution in an efficient manner, we exploit the preservation of the min-plus structure of the optimal cost function when acted upon by the dynamic programming operator. This technique yields a grid free numerical approach to the problem. Simulations on an example problem serve to highlight the efficacy of this generalizable approach to robust multi-sensor state estimation.
Low-dimensional embeddings for data from disparate sources play critical roles in multi-modal machine learning, multimedia information retrieval, and bioinformatics. In this paper, we propose a supervised dimensionality reduction method that learns linear embeddings jointly for two feature vectors representing data of different modalities or data from distinct types of entities. We also propose an efficient feature selection method that complements, and can be applied prior to, our joint dimensionality reduction method. Assuming that there exist true linear embeddings for these features, our analysis of the error in the learned linear embeddings provides theoretical guarantees that the dimensionality reduction method accurately estimates the true embeddings when certain technical conditions are satisfied and the number of samples is sufficiently large. The derived sample complexity results are echoed by numerical experiments. We apply the proposed dimensionality reduction method to gene-disease association, and predict unknown associations using kernel regression on the dimension-reduced feature vectors. Our approach compares favorably against other dimensionality reduction methods, and against a state-of-the-art method of bilinear regression for predicting gene-disease associations.
We introduce a new hybrid control strategy, which is conceptually different from the commonly used synergistic hybrid approaches, to efficiently deal with the problem of the undesired equilibria that precludes smooth vectors fields on $SO(3)$ from achieving global stability. The key idea consists in constructing a suitable potential function on $SO(3)times mathbb{R}$ involving an auxiliary scalar variable, with flow and jump dynamics, which keeps the state away from the undesired critical points while, at the same time, guarantees a decrease of the potential function over the flows and jumps. Based on this new hybrid mechanism, a hybrid feedback control scheme for the attitude tracking problem on $SO(3)$, endowed with global asymptotic stability and semi-global exponential stability guarantees, is proposed. This control scheme is further improved through a smoothing mechanism that removes the discontinuities in the input torque. The third hybrid control scheme, proposed in this paper, removes the requirement of the angular velocity measurements, while preserving the strong stability guarantees of the first hybrid control scheme. This approach has also been applied to the tracking problem on $SE(3)$ to illustrate its advantages with respect to the existing synergistic hybrid approaches. Finally, some simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed hybrid controllers.
