The present paper introduces a novel methodology for Unscented Kalman Filtering (UKF) on manifolds that extends previous work by the authors on UKF on Lie groups. Beyond filtering performance, the main interests of the approach are its versatility, as the method applies to numerous state estimation problems, and its simplicity of implementation for practitioners not being necessarily familiar with manifolds and Lie groups. We have developed the method on two independent open-source Python and Matlab frameworks we call UKF-M, for quickly implementing and testing the approach. The online repositories contain tutorials, documentation, and various relevant robotics examples that the user can readily reproduce and then adapt, for fast prototyping and benchmarking. The code is available at https://github.com/CAOR-MINES-ParisTech/ukfm.

Many state estimation and control algorithms require knowledge of how probability distributions propagate through dynamical systems. However, despite hybrid dynamical systems becoming increasingly important in many fields, there has been little work on utilizing the knowledge of how probability distributions map through hybrid transitions. Here, we make use of a propagation law that employs the saltation matrix (a first-order update to the sensitivity equation) to create the Salted Kalman Filter (SKF), a natural extension of the Kalman Filter and Extended Kalman Filter to hybrid dynamical systems. Away from hybrid events, the SKF is a standard Kalman filter. When a hybrid event occurs, the saltation matrix plays an analogous role as that of the system dynamics, subsequently inducing a discrete modification to both the prediction and update steps. The SKF outperforms a naive variational update - the Jacobian of the reset map - by having a reduced mean squared error in state estimation, especially immediately after a hybrid transition event. Compared a hybrid particle filter, the particle filter outperforms the SKF in mean squared error only when a large number of particles are used, likely due to a more accurate accounting of the split distribution near a hybrid transition.
A useful approach to solve inverse problems is to pair the parameter-to-data map with a stochastic dynamical system for the parameter, and then employ techniques from filtering to estimate the parameter given the data. Three classical approaches to f iltering of nonlinear systems are the extended, ensemble and unscented Kalman filters. The extended Kalman inversion (ExKI) is impractical when the forward map is not readily differentiable and given as a black box, and also for high dimensional parameter spaces because of the need to propagate large covariance matrices. Ensemble Kalman inversion (EKI) has emerged as a useful tool which overcomes both of these issues: it is derivative free and works with a low-rank covariance approximation formed from the ensemble. In this paper, we demonstrate that unscented Kalman methods also provide an effective tool for derivative-free inversion in the setting of black-box forward models, introducing unscented Kalman inversion (UKI). Theoretical analysis is provided for linear inverse problems, and a smoothing property of the data mis-fit under the unscented transform is explained. We provide numerical experiments, including various applications: learning subsurface flow permeability parameters; learning the structure damage field; learning the Navier-Stokes initial condition; and learning subgrid-scale parameters in a general circulation model. The theory and experiments show that the UKI outperforms the EKI on parameter learning problems with moderate numbers of parameters and outperforms the ExKI on problems where the forward model is not readily differentiable, or where the derivative is very sensitive. In particular, UKI based methods are of particular value for parameter estimation problems in which the number of parameters is moderate but the forward model is expensive and provided as a black box which is impractical to differentiate.
Legged robots require knowledge of pose and velocity in order to maintain stability and execute walking paths. Current solutions either rely on vision data, which is susceptible to environmental and lighting conditions, or fusion of kinematic and con tact data with measurements from an inertial measurement unit (IMU). In this work, we develop a contact-aided invariant extended Kalman filter (InEKF) using the theory of Lie groups and invariant observer design. This filter combines contact-inertial dynamics with forward kinematic corrections to estimate pose and velocity along with all current contact points. We show that the error dynamics follows a log-linear autonomous differential equation with several important consequences: (a) the observable state variables can be rendered convergent with a domain of attraction that is independent of the systems trajectory; (b) unlike the standard EKF, neither the linearized error dynamics nor the linearized observation model depend on the current state estimate, which (c) leads to improved convergence properties and (d) a local observability matrix that is consistent with the underlying nonlinear system. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to include IMU biases, add/remove contacts, and formulate both world-centric and robo-centri

Statistical signal processing based speech enhancement methods adopt expert knowledge to design the statistical models and linear filters, which is complementary to the deep neural network (DNN) based methods which are data-driven. In this paper, by using expert knowledge from statistical signal processing for network design and optimization, we extend the conventional Kalman filtering (KF) to the supervised learning scheme, and propose the neural Kalman filtering (NKF) for speech enhancement. Two intermediate clean speech estimates are first produced from recurrent neural networks (RNN) and linear Wiener filtering (WF) separately and are then linearly combined by a learned NKF gain to yield the NKF output. Supervised joint training is applied to NKF to learn to automatically trade-off between the instantaneous linear estimation made by the WF and the long-term non-linear estimation made by the RNN. The NKF method can be seen as using expert knowledge from WF to regularize the RNN estimations to improve its generalization ability to the noise conditions unseen in the training. Experiments in different noisy conditions show that the proposed method outperforms the baseline methods both in terms of objective evaluation metrics and automatic speech recognition (ASR) word error rates (WERs).
The unscented Kalman inversion (UKI) method presented in [1] is a general derivative-free approach for the inverse problem. UKI is particularly suitable for inverse problems where the forward model is given as a black box and may not be differentiabl e. The regularization strategies, convergence property, and speed-up strategies [1,2] of the UKI are thoroughly studied, and the method is capable of handling noisy observation data and solving chaotic inverse problems. In this paper, we study the uncertainty quantification capability of the UKI. We propose a modified UKI, which allows to well approximate the mean and covariance of the posterior distribution for well-posed inverse problems with large observation data. Theoretical guarantees for both linear and nonlinear inverse problems are presented. Numerical results, including learning of permeability parameters in subsurface flow and of the Navier-Stokes initial condition from solution data at positive times are presented. The results obtained by the UKI require only $O(10)$ iterations, and match well with the expected results obtained by the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method.
