We have performed various test measurements at several places to investigate the existent magnetisable parts the in the floor. We have extended the SCITOS' control software in a way that the current magnetic data and their history can be pictured. To increase the resolution we have developed and realized a measuring hardware based on three AMR sensors capable of being integrated in a bus and connected to a master module. A new prototype was finished and successfully integrated in a SCITOS mobile robot platform.
