Podsumowanie	The Mahony Filter is a complementary observer-based attitude filter that fuses gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer measurements to estimate quaternion orientation. Developed by Robert Mahony and colleagues in 2008, the filter combines gyroscope rate integration with corrective feedback from vector measurements (accelerometer, compass) using proportional-integral control principles. The Mahony Filter provides similar performance to Kalman Filters but with simpler implementation and lower computational cost, making it ideal for resource-constrained systems and real-time control.	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.
