Researchers have developed a belief-space model predictive control (B-MPC) method to address challenges in controlling linear systems with bilinear observations. This approach plans control inputs by considering both the estimated state and its error covariance, overcoming the failure of the separation principle where control affects observation quality. Numerical experiments demonstrate that B-MPC can outperform traditional methods by achieving lower estimation covariance and making more uncertainty-aware decisions. AI
