Public Summary Month 5/2012
This is the third public summary of the MUCE experiment.
During this period we have mainly worked to find a solution for the navigation and positioning problem. We started to do a number of different experiments in real pool environments to understand the physical opportunities and limitations. As a result of this tests and brain storming meetings we could put up a list with 9 possible technical solutions. By evaluating these ideas with respect to a number of critical criteria we were able to rank them. We have now started to verify the three top-ranked solutions that the ideas are possible to implement into real commercial solutions. To be able to perform tests we have made a first mechanical platform. We have also started to look at ways to navigate in the pool for coverage.
