Data har många användningsområden inom både forskning och industri. I detta examensarbete skapades en platform som självgående kan användas för att samla in stora mängder data från omgivningen.Everyone who has worked with research knows how rewarding experimenting and developing new algorithms can be. However in some cases, the hard part is not the invention of these algorithms, but their evaluation. To try and make that evaluation easier, this thesis focuses on the collection of data that can be used as positional ground truths using an autonomous measurement platform. This should assi
