Podsumowanie	The Madgwick Filter is a computationally lightweight attitude estimation algorithm that fuses inertial measurements (accelerometer, gyroscope) with magnetic measurements (magnetometer) to compute a quaternion orientation. Introduced by Sebastian Madgwick in 2010, the algorithm uses gradient descent optimization to minimize the error between measured and expected sensor outputs, yielding accurate, drift-free attitude estimates on embedded systems with minimal computational cost. The Madgwick Filter is now ubiquitous in consumer electronics, robotics, and aerospace systems.	Quaternion attitude representation is a mathematical framework for describing three-dimensional rotations using four-dimensional vectors (quaternions). Superior to Euler angles due to the absence of singularities (gimbal lock), quaternions are the standard representation in modern attitude estimation, spacecraft control, and 3D computer graphics. Quaternion kinematics elegantly expresses how attitude evolves under angular velocity measurements from gyroscopes.
