  // Now predict the state at t=1, i.e. argmax_{x1} P(x1) = P(x1|x0) P(x0)
  // In Kalman Filter notation, this is x_{t+1|t} and P_{t+1|t}
  // For the Kalman Filter, this requires a motion model, f(x_{t}) = x_{t+1|t)
  // Assuming the system is linear, this will be of the form f(x_{t}) = F*x_{t} + B*u_{t} + w
  // where F is the state transition model/matrix, B is the control input model,
  // and w is zero-mean, Gaussian white noise with covariance Q
  // Note, in some models, Q is actually derived as G*w*G^T where w models uncertainty of some
  // physical property, such as velocity or acceleration, and G is derived from physics
  //
  // For the purposes of this example, let us assume we are using a constant-position model and
  // the controls are driving the point to the right at 1 m/s. Then, F = [1 0 ; 0 1], B = [1 0 ; 0 1]

  // Now, a measurement, z1, has been received, and the Kalman Filter should be "Updated"/"Corrected"
  // This is equivalent to saying P(x1|z1) ~ P(z1|x1)*P(x1)
  // For the Kalman Filter, this requires a measurement model h(x_{t}) = \hat{z}_{t}
  // Assuming the system is linear, this will be of the form h(x_{t}) = H*x_{t} + v
  // where H is the observation model/matrix, and v is zero-mean, Gaussian white noise with covariance R
  //
  // For the purposes of this example, let us assume we have something like a GPS that returns
  // the current position of the robot. Then H = [1 0 ; 0 1]. Let us also assume that the measurement noise
  // R = [0.25 0 ; 0 0.25].
