arXiv:2608. 04201v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State estimation for nonlinear dynamical systems is commonly performed with the Unscented Kalman filter (UKF), which propagates the state moments through deterministic sigma points and reports a posterior covariance at every step.

Learning-based motion planners, despite recent progress, often suffer from temporal inconsistency. Small perturbations across frames can accumulate into unstable trajectories, degrading comfort and safety in closed-loop driving.

Diff-SPORT is a diffusion-based framework that integrates a generative diffusion prior, maximum a posteriori inference, and Shapley-value attribution to achieve high-fidelity reconstruction of turbulent flows and optimal sensor placement in urban environments. By training the diffusion prior once for a domain, it enables non-linear sensor placement and near-real-time flow reconstruction from sparse measurements, outperforming state-of-the-art methods and running orders of magnitude faster than RANS or LES simulations. The approach also generalizes to experimental passive scalar concentration data, demonstrating up to 57% lower reconstruction error than random sensor placement under extreme sparsity and providing compact, physically interpretable sensor configurations.

The paper introduces a minimalist visual-inertial odometry system that uses only four downward-facing photodiodes with optical Gabor masks and an IMU to estimate motion for differential-drive robots. By jointly optimizing mask parameters and a Temporal Convolutional Network in a physically-grounded simulator, the model decodes speed from the photodiode signals and combines it with IMU angular speed to produce a continuous planar trajectory. Experiments on a prototype robot across indoor and outdoor terrains show that the system closely follows reference trajectories without real-world fine-tuning.
