Abstract:In this study, the learning-based inertial odometry problem is investigated using raw IMU measurements obtained from the EuRoC MAV benchmark dataset. Instead of absolute position regression-a formulation that may lead to large constant errors-the models are trained to estimate the incremental displacement ({\Delta}p) over a fixed 50 ms sliding window, and the full trajectory is reconstructed through numerical integration. A standard Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) is compared with a Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) equipped with learnable B-spline activations. Although KAN has 6.9 times fewer parameters than MLP (8,444 versus 57,859), it produces a 44% lower error in terms of final cumulative drift on the test trajectory (9.61 m versus 17.23 m). In addition, KAN exhibits more stable behavior in terms of long-term error accumulation, with lower P_50 and P_90 cumulative drift values. These findings indicate that learnable B-spline-based activations have the potential to reduce error accumulation in the inertial odometry problem.
