Attitudes

33.2K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Measurement: Derived Units

The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Units of Measurement

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It deals with designing, analyzing, and manufacturing machines and mechanical systems. To ensure precise and accurate calculations, units of measurement are used. They provide a standard system for expressing and comparing physical quantities.
There are various well-known historical measurement systems, such as the Babylonian system, the Roman system, the Egyptian system, the Olympian system, the British system, and the Indus...

A physical quantity is defined either by specifying its measurement method or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, consider a metallic cube. We might define its mass and dimensions by specifying methods for measuring them, such as using a weighing machine and a meter scale. Then, we could define the volume by stating that it is the cube of its side, and we could calculate the density as the mass divided by the volume.
Measurements of physical quantities are...

Inertial Frames of Reference01:03

Inertial Frames of Reference

8.7K
Newton’s first law is usually considered to be a statement about reference frames. It provides a method for identifying a special type of reference frame: the inertial reference frame. In principle, we can make the net force on a body zero. If its velocity relative to a given frame is constant, then that frame is said to be inertial. So, by definition, an inertial reference frame is a reference frame where Newton's first law holds valid. Newton's first law applies to objects with...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics and Control Systems
  • Navigation and Guidance
  • Sensor Fusion

Background:

  • External acceleration introduces significant uncertainty in attitude determination using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) signals, degrading accuracy.
  • Existing acceleration-compensating methods offer incomplete solutions to this underdetermined problem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel constraint-augmented Kalman filter (KF) for robust IMU-based attitude determination.
  • To eliminate acceleration-induced uncertainty in attitude estimation for IMUs attached to constrained links.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of an acceleration-level kinematic constraint derived from a ball joint mechanism.
  • Development of a constraint-augmented Kalman filter (KF) to integrate this constraint.

Main Results:

  • The proposed constrained KF demonstrated superior performance over the conventional unconstrained KF.
  • Average accuracy improvement of 1.88°, with a maximum improvement of 4.18° observed.
  • The constrained KF's accuracy was independent of test acceleration conditions, unlike the conventional KF.

Conclusions:

  • The novel constraint-augmented KF effectively eliminates acceleration-induced uncertainty for robust IMU-based attitude determination.
  • This method offers significant accuracy improvements and robustness, making it suitable for applications requiring precise attitude estimation under dynamic conditions.
