Directional estimation is a common problem in many tracking applications. Traditional filters such as the Kalman filter perform poorly because they fail to take the periodic nature of the problem into account. We present a recursive filter for directional data based on the Bingham distribution in two dimensions. The proposed filter can be applied to circular filtering problems with 180 degree symmetry, i.e., rotations by 180 degrees cannot be distinguished. It is easily implemented using standard numerical techniques and suitable for real-time applications. The presented approach is extensible to quaternions, which allow tracking arbitrary three-dimensional orientations. We evaluate our filter in a challenging scenario and compare it to a traditional Kalman filtering approach.

The Fisher-Bingham distribution ($mathrm{FB}_8$) is an eight-parameter family of probability density functions (PDF) on $S^2$ that, under certain conditions, reduce to spherical analogues of bivariate normal PDFs. Due to difficulties in computing its overall normalization constant, applications have been mainly restricted to subclasses of $mathrm{FB}_8$, such as the Kent ($mathrm{FB}_5$) or von Mises-Fisher (vMF) distributions. However, these subclasses often do not adequately describe directional data that are not symmetric along great circles. The normalizing constant of $mathrm{FB}_8$ can be numerically integrated, and recently Kume and Sei showed that it can be computed using an adjusted holonomic gradient method. Both approaches, however, can be computationally expensive. In this paper, I show that the normalization of $mathrm{FB}_8$ can be expressed as an infinite sum consisting of hypergeometric functions, similar to that of the $mathrm{FB}_5$. This allows the normalization to be computed under summation with adequate stopping conditions. I then fit the $mathrm{FB}_8$ to a synthetic dataset using a maximum-likelihood approach and show its improvements over a fit with the more restrictive $mathrm{FB}_5$ distribution.
This paper is concerned with making Bayesian inference from data that are assumed to be drawn from a Bingham distribution. A barrier to the Bayesian approach is the parameter-dependent normalising constant of the Bingham distribution, which, even whe n it can be evaluated or accurately approximated, would have to be calculated at each iteration of an MCMC scheme, thereby greatly increasing the computational burden. We propose a method which enables exact (in Monte Carlo sense) Bayesian inference for the unknown parameters of the Bingham distribution by completely avoiding the need to evaluate this constant. We apply the method to simulated and real data, and illustrate that it is simpler to implement, faster, and performs better than an alternative algorithm that has recently been proposed in the literature.

Accurate identification of parameters of load models is essential in power system computations, including simulation, prediction, and stability and reliability analysis. Conventional point estimation based composite load modeling approaches suffer fr om disturbances and noises and provide limited information of the system dynamics. In this work, a statistic (Bayesian Estimation) based distribution estimation approach is proposed for both static (ZIP) and dynamic (Induction Motor) load modeling. When dealing with multiple parameters, Gibbs sampling method is employed. In each iteration, the proposal samples each parameter while keeps others fixed. The proposed method provides a distribution estimation of load models coefficients and is robust to measurement errors.

This paper investigates the visual servoing problem for robotic systems with uncertain kinematic, dynamic, and camera parameters. We first present the passivity properties associated with the overall kinematics of the system, and then propose two pas sivity-based adaptive control schemes to resolve the visual tracking problem. One scheme employs the adaptive inverse-Jacobian-like feedback, and the other employs the adaptive transpose Jacobian feedback. With the Lyapunov analysis approach, it is shown that under either of the proposed control schemes, the image-space tracking errors converge to zero without relying on the assumption of the invertibility of the estimated depth. Numerical simulations are performed to show the tracking performance of the proposed adaptive controllers.
Dual-arm manipulation tasks can be prescribed to a robotic system in terms of desired absolute and relative motion of the robots end-effectors. These can represent, e.g., jointly carrying a rigid object or performing an assembly task. When both types of motion are to be executed concurrently, the symmetric distribution of the relative motion between arms prevents task conflicts. Conversely, an asymmetric solution to the relative motion task will result in conflicts with the absolute task. In this work, we address the problem of designing a control law for the absolute motion task together with updating the distribution of the relative task among arms. Through a set of numerical results, we contrast our approach with the classical symmetric distribution of the relative motion task to illustrate the advantages of our method.
