Robust observer design under measurement noise

We prove new results on robust observer design for systems with noisy measurement and bounded trajectories. A state observer is designed by dominating the incrementally homogeneous nonlinearities of the observation error system with its linear approximation, while gain adaptation and incremental observability guarantee an asymptotic upper bound for the estimation error depending on the limsup of the norm of the measuremen noise. The gain adaptation is implemented as the output of a stable filter using the squared norm of the measured output estimation error and the mismatch between each estimate and its saturated value.
