The miniaturization of MEMS-based inertial measurement units (IMUs) facilitates their widespread use in a growing number of application domains. The fundamental sensor fusion task of orientation estimation is a prerequisite for most further data processing steps in inertial motion tracking, such as position and velocity estimation, joint angle estimation, and 3D visualization. Errors in the estimated orientations severely affect all further processing steps. Recent systematic comparisons of existing algorithms show that out-of-the-box accuracy is often low and that application-specific tuning is required to obtain high accuracy. In the present work, we propose and extensively evaluate a quaternion-based orientation estimation algorithm that is based on a novel approach of filtering the acceleration measurements in an almost-inertial frame and that includes extensions for gyroscope bias estimation and magnetic disturbance rejection, as well as a variant for offline data processing. In contrast to all existing work, we perform an extensive evaluation, using a large collection of publicly available datasets and eight literature methods for comparison. The proposed method consistently outperforms all eight literature methods and achieves an average RMSE of 2.9°, while the errors obtained with literature methods range from 5.3° to 16.7°. This improved accuracy with respect to the state of the art is observed not only in average but also for each of several different motion characteristics, as well as for gyroscope bias estimation. Since the evaluation was performed with one single fixed parametrization across a very diverse dataset collection, we conclude that the proposed method provides unprecedented out-of-the-box performance for a broad range of motions, sensor hardware, and environmental conditions. This gain in orientation estimation accuracy is expected to advance the field of IMU-based motion analysis and provide performance benefits in numerous applications. The

This paper proposes a model-free extremum seeking control (ESC) approach to optimize the productivity of continuous cultures of microalgae, considering the dilution rate and the light intensity as manipulated variables, and the biomass concentration as single measurement. The resulting two-input single-output optimization problem is first solved using a recursive least-squares strategy based on the representation of the process by a Hammerstein block-oriented model. In order to face the presence of noise on the regressor variables (input and output signals), the problem is then reformulated as a maximum-likelihood estimation problem, which is solved on a moving horizon. Simulation results demonstrate the method performance.
