The pith

Accelerations derived from motor speeds enable more precise multirotor UAV state estimation without IMU data by avoiding propeller vibrations.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper shows that accelerations computed from motor angular speeds can be preintegrated and used directly for state propagation on multirotor UAVs. This replaces or supplements IMU measurements, which suffer from vibrations caused by spinning propellers. The preintegrated motor speeds are packaged as a factor that plugs into factor-graph optimization. When fused with LiDAR data in the MAS-LO algorithm, the approach yields 28 percent better position accuracy and 65 percent better velocity accuracy than the LIO-SAM baseline, along with reduced lag and tolerance to parameter mismatch.

Core claim

The central claim is that accelerations obtained from motor speeds can be preintegrated to propagate the vehicle state on their own, producing higher precision than IMU-based propagation because they remain free of propeller-induced vibrations. A corresponding preintegration factor can be inserted directly into factor-graph frameworks. When this factor is combined with LiDAR measurements, the resulting MAS-LO odometry algorithm improves position estimates by 28 percent and velocity estimates by 65 percent relative to LIO-SAM while lowering measurement lag by 14 percent and remaining robust to incorrect parameter values.

What carries the argument

Motor angular speed preintegration, which converts motor speed measurements into relative motion increments for use in state propagation or factor-graph optimization.

If this is right

  • State propagation can be performed using only motor speeds and achieves higher precision than IMU-only methods.
  • The preintegrated motor speed factor integrates directly into existing factor-graph optimization pipelines.
  • Position accuracy rises by 28 percent and velocity accuracy by 65 percent compared with LIO-SAM when the factor is used with LiDAR.
  • Measurement lag drops by 14 percent while the estimator tolerates substantial errors in the motor-to-acceleration mapping parameters.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • UAV designs could rely on lighter or cheaper sensor packages if motor telemetry alone suffices for high-rate state propagation.
  • The same preintegration idea may extend to other vehicles that expose direct motor speed feedback, such as ground robots with wheel encoders.
  • Pairing motor preintegration with visual rather than LiDAR measurements could address environments where LiDAR range is limited.

Load-bearing premise

Motor angular speeds supply an accurate, vibration-free proxy for vehicle acceleration via a known and stable mapping that needs no IMU data.

What would settle it

A side-by-side recording of motor-speed-derived accelerations versus ground-truth accelerations from an external high-precision sensor during hovering and aggressive maneuvers on the same UAV.

A precise state estimate is crucial for a tight feedback control that enables agile and near-obstacle flights of UAVs. The state-of-the-art methods fuse slow pose measurements with high-frequency inertial measurements to obtain a precise state estimate. However, the inertial measurements from the IMU onboard the UAV are degraded by vibrations from spinning propellers and the precision of the estimated state suffers. We propose a novel approach based on the preintegration of accelerations obtained from motor speeds. We show that the accelerations obtained in this manner can be used for state propagation on their own to achieve better precision without including the IMU. Further, we propose a factor composed of the preintegrated motor speeds that can be directly employed in factor graph optimization frameworks. We combine our factor with LiDAR measurements into the proposed Motor Angular Speed LiDAR Odometry (MAS-LO) algorithm for precise state estimation, which we open-source. Lastly, we evaluate the estimation precision against a state-of-the-art inertial algorithm LIO-SAM to show 28% improvement in position and 65% in velocity estimation accuracy, 14% lower measurement lag, and high robustness to wrong parameter values.

Referee Report

2 major / 1 minor

Summary. The manuscript proposes preintegrating accelerations derived from motor angular speeds as a vibration-robust alternative to IMU measurements for multirotor UAV state estimation. It introduces a motor-speed preintegration factor usable in factor-graph frameworks and presents the MAS-LO algorithm that fuses this factor with LiDAR odometry, claiming 28% better position and 65% better velocity accuracy than LIO-SAM while operating without the IMU, with lower lag and robustness to parameter errors.

Significance. If the motor-to-acceleration mapping and attitude propagation can be shown to function without IMU data, the approach would supply a high-rate, low-vibration propagation source that could improve precision and robustness for agile UAV flight; the open-sourcing of MAS-LO is a concrete strength that would allow direct reproduction and extension.

major comments (2)
  1. Abstract: the central claim that accelerations from motor speeds suffice for state propagation 'without including the IMU' is load-bearing yet unsupported in the provided description. Motor speeds yield only scalar body-z thrust (typically k·ω²); converting to inertial specific force for preintegration or integration requires the instantaneous rotation matrix R(t). Standard IMU preintegration obtains R(t) from gyro integration; no alternative high-rate angular-velocity source is identified, leaving an unstated dependency that would either re-introduce IMU data or require an assumption of constant attitude between keyframes (incompatible with agile flight).
  2. Abstract: the quantitative claims of 28% position and 65% velocity improvement versus LIO-SAM are presented without reference to the experimental protocol, number of trials, data-exclusion rules, or covariance modeling. These details are required to determine whether the reported gains arise from the motor preintegration factor itself or from other implementation or tuning differences.
minor comments (1)
  1. Abstract: the phrase 'high robustness to wrong parameter values' is stated without naming the parameters, the magnitude of the errors tested, or the metric used to quantify robustness.

  1. Referee: [—] Abstract: the central claim that accelerations from motor speeds suffice for state propagation 'without including the IMU' is load-bearing yet unsupported in the provided description. Motor speeds yield only scalar body-z thrust (typically k·ω²); converting to inertial specific force for preintegration or integration requires the instantaneous rotation matrix R(t). Standard IMU preintegration obtains R(t) from gyro integration; no alternative high-rate angular-velocity source is identified, leaving an unstated dependency that would either re-introduce IMU data or require an assumption of constant attitude between keyframes (incompatible with agile flight).

    Authors: The manuscript computes body-frame specific force directly from motor speeds via the quadratic thrust model. This force is preintegrated between LiDAR keyframes using the relative attitude obtained from the LiDAR pose estimates themselves; the preintegration factor is formulated to operate on the body-frame measurements and the optimized keyframe poses, without requiring gyro data. Between keyframes the attitude change is taken from the LiDAR solution (with linear interpolation of the rotation for the integration), which is the same information used by LIO-SAM. We agree that an explicit statement of this mechanism is missing from the abstract and will add a concise clarification to both the abstract and Section 3 in the revision. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [—] Abstract: the quantitative claims of 28% position and 65% velocity improvement versus LIO-SAM are presented without reference to the experimental protocol, number of trials, data-exclusion rules, or covariance modeling. These details are required to determine whether the reported gains arise from the motor preintegration factor itself or from other implementation or tuning differences.

    Authors: Section 5 of the manuscript already contains the full experimental protocol: ten independent flights on the same platform, motion-capture ground truth, identical LiDAR and motor-speed logging for both MAS-LO and LIO-SAM, no data exclusion, and the same covariance settings for the LiDAR factor. The reported percentages are the mean relative improvements across those trials. Because the abstract is length-constrained we will not expand the numerical claims themselves, but we will add a single sentence directing readers to Section 5 for the evaluation details. revision: partial

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity detected

full rationale

The paper proposes a motor-speed preintegration factor for LiDAR-based odometry (MAS-LO) and reports empirical gains versus LIO-SAM. No derivation step is shown to reduce by construction to a fitted parameter, self-definition, or self-citation chain; the central claim rests on an external benchmark comparison rather than internal re-labeling of inputs. The method is therefore treated as self-contained.
