An EKF-SLAM algorithm with consistency properties.

TLDR
This paper addresses the inconsistency of the EKF-based SLAM algorithm that stems from non-observability of the origin and orientation of the global reference frame and proves on the non-linear two-dimensional problem with point landmarks that this type of inconsistency is remedied using the Invariant EKf.
Abstract
In this paper we address the inconsistency of the EKF-based SLAM algorithm that stems from non-observability of the origin and orientation of the global reference frame. We prove on the non-linear two-dimensional problem with point landmarks observed that this type of inconsistency is remedied using the Invariant EKF, a recently introduced variant ot the EKF meant to account for the symmetries of the state space. Extensive Monte-Carlo runs illustrate the theoretical results.

Contact-aided invariant extended Kalman filtering for robot state estimation:

TL;DR: This work develops a contact-aided invariant extended Kalman filter (InEKF) using the theory of Lie groups and invariant observer design and demonstrates how to include IMU biases, add/remove contacts, and formulate both world-centric and robo-centric versions.

Convergence and Consistency Analysis for a 3-D Invariant-EKF SLAM

TL;DR: Investigation of the convergence and consistency properties of an invariant-extended Kalman filter based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm proves that the output of RI-EKF is invariant under any stochastic rigid body transformation, and implications of these invariance properties on the consistency of the estimator are discussed.

Unscented Kalman filtering on Lie groups

TL;DR: The general method is applied to a robot localization problem, and results based on experimental data combined with extensive Monte-Carlo simulations at various noise levels illustrate the superiority of the approach over the standard UKF.
