GCC: Linux gnu/XXX.h: No such file or directory

It can happen a lot when you receive a compiler error alerting for instance: "gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file"
The best you can do is just:

$ yum whatprovides *stubs-32.h
# yum install $RESULT

An EKF for Real-Time Estimation and Control of a RLFJ Manipulator

An Extended Kalman Filter for Real-Time Estimation and Control of a Rigid-Link Flexible-Joint Manipulator
The project of Random Signals, Adaptive, and Kalman Filtering course, under supervision of Dr. Parsa.
Abstract—High performance tracking of an industrial robot depends on accurate expression of manipulator dynamics. When a robot has flexible joints efficient model parametrization will be difficult to achieve. In this course project report an extended Kalman filter (EKF) observer to estimate manipulator states is presented. In a computer simulation the estimation performance is demonstrated. Experimental setup for KUKA/DLR Light-Weight robot in Human Robot Interaction at the University of Western Ontario is also carried out without any success.

Skew symmetry property

The three types of derivatives: vectors-by-matrices, matrices-by-vectors, and matrices-by-matrices. These are not as widely considered and a notation is not widely agreed upon. However the second type (matrices-by-vectors) is widely used in Robotics.

If we consider the following state form for a robot:

    

The matrix is skew-symmetric.

Here the matrix-by-vector derivative is:                                                              

                   

Note that this is not true if the robot dynamics is expressed in any other forms (for example).
