A Proprioceptive-Only Benchmark for Quadruped State Estimation: ATE, RPE, and Runtime Trade-offs Between Filters and Smoothers

Ylenia Nisticò, João Carlos Virgolino Soares, Joan Solà +1

We compare three state-of-the-art proprioceptive state estimators for quadruped robots: MUSE [1], the Invariant Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF) [2], and the Invariant Smoother (IS) […
