We use a Kalman filter to estimate the pose of the robot (i.e. its orientation in space), because the raw accelerometer and gyros are very noisy. This video shows an example of the filtered pose compared to the pose of the robot calculated from the raw sensor values. The filtered pose is in white, the unfiltered pose is in blue.
