State Estimation for Aggressive Flight in GPS-Denied Environments Using Onboard SensingIn this paper we present a state estimation method based on an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a planar laser range finder suitable for use in real-time on a fixed-wing micro air vehicle (MAV). The algorithm is capable of maintaing accurate state estimates during aggressive flight in unstructured 3D environments without the use of an external positioning system. Our localization algorithm is based on an extension of the Gaussian Particle Filter. We partition the state according to measurement independence relationships and then calculate a pseudo-linear update which allows us to use 20x fewer particles than a naive implementation to achieve similar accuracy in the state estimate. We also propose a multi-step forward fitting method to identify the noise parameters of the IMU and compare results with and without accurate position measurements. Our process and measurement models integrate naturally with an exponential coordinates representation of the attitude uncertainty. We demonstrate our algorithms experimentally on a fixed-wing vehicle flying in a challenging indoor environment. -
Affordable Care Act’s Impact on Health IT: A Bipartisan PerspectiveRecognizing that health information technology (IT) plays a critical role in improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, the Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) Task Force on Delivery System Reform and Health IT released a set of recommendations for the most effective use of health IT dollars to support delivery system and payment reforms to achieve improved health, better health care, and reductions in the cost of care. Our keynote lunch speaker will summarize these recommendations to help you plan for the future. -
Ambulatory EHR: Pros and ConsIs it worth all the effort? What are the tangible benefits being realized by patients, physicians, and health care professionals? How to best anticipate and overcome hurdles along the way? What systems need to connect? We have assembled a distinguished set of speakers to examine EHRs in the ambulatory care setting. Beyond meaningful use incentives, our panel will delve into an insightful discussion of these questions and examine the value of EHR adoption today.
