In most applications of autonomous navigation, the state of a system must be estimated from noisy sensors. Accurate estimation of the true system state can be achieved using data fusion algorithms. Furthermore, the fusion scheme can be affected by many factors such as modeling errors and parameters uncertainties. The gaps and inconsistencies due to the sensors noise and modeling errors can be reached with robust nonlinear filtering. In this article, a new framework has been developed for data fusion algorithms based on nonlinear NH∞ filter with fuzzy adaptive bound and adaptive disturbances attenuations. Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ algorithm has been proposed and compared with the Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞, for unmanned vehicle localization. The proposed algorithms fuse data from low-cost sensors using inertial navigation system, Global Positioning System and monocular vision. Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ and Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ algorithms, adaptively, handle the effects of noisy sensors, parameters uncertainties and modeling errors. Both algorithms use adaptive bounds [Formula: see text] and adaptive disturbance attenuation [Formula: see text] for higher-order terms of the Taylor development. The adaptive bounds consider issues associated to Gyro drift, image distortion and Global Positioning System dilution of precision which make the proposed algorithms more accurate than the classical NH∞. The validating experiment and the efficiency of Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ and Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ have been conducted in real scenario and in unstructured outdoor environment without any a priori knowledge of the evolution of the vehicle. The experimental results have demonstrated the robustness and efficiency of these two filtering strategies against uncertainties and their online sensor switching capability. The Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞ algorithm provides more accuracy and robustness compared to the Type-1 Fuzzy Adaptive NH∞.
