WRAP: Wasserstein-Robust Adaptive Plug-in for Robot Localization

Minhyuk Jang, Astghik Hakobyan, Jungjin Lee +2

Robotic localization under changing sensing conditions can suffer from biased errors and miscalibrated covariances. We present WRAP, an adapter-agnostic Wasserstein-robust plug-in…

Residual-Aware Distributionally Robust EKF: Absorbing Linearization Mismatch via Wasserstein Ambiguity

Minhyuk Jang, Jungjin Lee, Astghik Hakobyan +2

The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is a cornerstone of nonlinear state estimation, yet its performance is fundamentally limited by noise-model mismatch and linearization errors. We d…
