To achieve this and to generate appropriate actions, such systems need to be able to accurately interpret their sensory input and estimate their state or the state of the environment to be successful. In recent years, probabilistic approaches have emerged as a key technology for these problems. In this article, we will describe state-of-the-art solutions to challenging tasks from the area of mobile robotics, autonomous cars, and activity recognition, which are all based on the paradigm of probabilistic state estimation.Text/Journal Article1432-122X
