To solve the problem of non-Gaussian distribution of measurement noise during the actual process of trajectory tracking when the mobile robot is performing tasks, a novel fuzzy adaptive extended Kalman filter exploiting the Student's t distribution (FASTEKF) for a robot path tracking is proposed. The distributions of process and measurement noise are modeled using the Student's t distribution. With the adaptive fuzzy controller, the adaptive factors are designed to adjust the covariance matrices of the process and measurement noises simultaneously, which optimize the posterior state and tracking accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better accuracy and is more robust than existing state-ofthe-art algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
