Hardware accelerator for online estimation

Abstract:

An apparatus of an autonomous device comprises one or more state estimators to estimate one or more states of the autonomous device, wherein the one or more state estimators are to generate one or more derivatives of translational measurements, orientation measurements, reference translational values, and reference orientation values, and one or more controllers to receive an output from the one or more state estimators to provide control signals to control the autonomous device. The one or more state estimators include a hardware differentiator to generate the one or more derivatives.
