This course aims at providing the students with the necessary mathematical background and the practical guidelines to tackle complex problems in state estimation and model identification for robots. At the end of this course the student will possess the necessary background to approach fundamental problems in robotics including, but not limited to localization, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), calibration and tracking.

Despite this course in the "manifesto" is scheduled for the first year of the MARR/AIRO studies, it requires reasonably solid notions of Linear Algebra, Robotics 1 (or their italian versions Geometria and Robotica 1) and Autonomous and Mobile Robotics. For this reason, we recommend the students to sustain the exam on the second year.
