We propose an algorithm for optimal input design in nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems. The approach relies on minimizing a function of the covariance of the parameter estimates of the system with respect to the input. The covariance matrix is approximated using a joint likelihood function of hidden states and measurements, and a combination of state filters and smoothers. The input is parametrized using an autoregressive model. The proposed approach is illustrated through a simulation example.
