Inertial navigation

The team is exploring techniques and approaches from estimation, filtering and machine learning, in order to use inertial sensor units in pedestrian navigation, attitude estimation, augmented reality and human activities recognition. These units are composed of accelerometers, magnetometers and gyroscopes, sensors that we find usually in smartphones. This area of research in the team will evolve towards multimodal navigation, cooperative and collaborative navigation in indoor and outdoor environments.
