With the advancement of intelligent perception in multirobot systems, cooperative localization in dynamic environments has become a critical component. However, existing multirobot cooperative localization systems still fall short in meeting high-precision localization requirements in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments. In this paper, we propose a factor-graph-based resilient cooperative localization (FG-RCL) algorithm for multirobot systems. This algorithm integrates measurements from visual sensors and Ultra-WideBand (UWB) to achieve accurate cooperative state estimation—overcoming the visibility issues of visual sensors within limited fields of view. We utilize the Joint Probabilistic Data Association (JPDA) algorithm to calculate the corresponding probabilities of multiple visual detection measurements between robots and assign them to their respective edges in the factor graph, thereby addressing the data association challenges in visual detection measurements. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the influence of visual detection measurement interference on the performance of cooperative localization. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms UWB-based and vision-based methods in terms of localization accuracy. The system is implemented using a factor-graph-based optimization approach, and it exhibits scalability and enables plug-and-play for sensors. Furthermore, it demonstrates resilience in abnormal situations.

With the development of intelligent transportation, vehicle motion state recognition has become a crucial method for enhancing the reliability of vehicle navigation and ensuring driving safety. Currently, machine learning is the main approach for recognizing vehicle motion states. The symmetry characteristics of sensor data have also been studied to better recognize motion states. However, the existing approaches face challenges during motion state changes due to indeterminate state boundaries, resulting in reduced recognition accuracy. To address this problem, this paper proposes a vehicle motion state recognition method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Firstly, Kalman filtering is applied to denoise the data of inertial sensors. Then, HMM is employed to capture the subtle state transition, enabling the recognition of complex dynamic state changes. Finally, SVM is utilized to classify motion states. The sensor data were collected in various vehicle motion states, including stationary, straight-line driving, lane changing, turning, and then the proposed method is compared with SVM, KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor), DT (Decision Tree), RF (Random Forest), and NB (Naive Bayes). The results of the experiment show that the proposed method improves the recognition accuracy of motion state transitions in the case of boundary ambiguity and is superior to the existing methods.

Low-Earth orbit satellites are gradually becoming the core infrastructure of integrated aerospace communication networks, with their significant advantages of high communication rates, small transmission delay, and wide coverage. Interference with military communications in response to their security and protection needs is a current research challenge. Consequently, this paper introduces an interference technique optimized for low-Earth orbit satellite signals using a multimodal learning transformer model (OI-MLT). The proposed method incorporates symmetry-aware design by exploiting the inherent time–frequency structural characteristics of LEO satellite signals and the spatially distributed topology of interference sources. An optimized model for distributed interference sources is developed, and multimodal information of spectra and numerical values is processed in parallel through the self-attention mechanism. This approach effectively addresses the problem of dynamic matching between the interference signal and target signal in high-speed LEO scenarios, as well as high-precision interference synchronization under time-varying channels. Experimental results demonstrate that this technique enhances the precision of frequency tracking, reduces the time required for synchronization establishment, and improves the interference success rate by 27.52% on average compared with existing methods.

With the rapid development of low earth orbit (LEO) constellations, LEO signals of opportunity (LEO-SOP) navigation has attracted extensive attention for positioning services in complex-denied environments. However, LEO-SOP suffers from limited coverage multiplicity and time-varying observation noise, leading to degraded positioning accuracy and availability. To address this issue, this paper applies an innovation-based adaptive unscented Kalman filtering (AUKF) scheme to LEO/inertial navigation system (INS) tightly coupled integration. By constructing the innovation sequence, the impact mechanism of noise uncertainty on filtering performance is analyzed, and an online noise covariance estimation strategy is designed to achieve dynamic adaptive compensation for both process and measurement noise. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively suppresses the destabilizing effects of LEO observation noise and significantly improves the robustness and estimation accuracy of the filter in complex environments.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) clusters have broad applications in agricultural detection, traffic control, and disaster rescue, where navigation and positioning serve as the core technology. However, satellite navigation fails to meet the requirements of region-wide navigation due to the urban canyon effect. Although the China Satellite Network (CSN) boasts advantages such as high landing power and low latency, it can only achieve single-link communication. Consequently, exploring how to realize cooperative positioning via UAV clusters has become an urgent research need. In this paper, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Cluster Communication–Navigation Integrated Cooperative Positioning (UCNCP) algorithm is proposed. This algorithm combines the communication and navigation characteristics of the CSN, establishes a single pseudorange measurement model and cluster geometric topology, and constructs an architecture for cooperative positioning based on UAV cluster pseudorange measurements and inter-UAV ranging data, thereby achieving reliable navigation and positioning of UAV clusters. Comparative experiments between the proposed method and other low-orbit satellite positioning methods demonstrate that the UCNCP algorithm exhibits higher positioning stability. When abrupt changes occur in navigation information, it can effectively mitigate the impact of abrupt change errors on positioning accuracy, improving the positioning stability of UAV clusters by more than 30%.
