2019 IPIN Technical description from MITLab

Dear Daniel,

the basic idea is to split the logging functionalities from the 
localization app. The organizers provide the logging functionalities, 
namely StepLogger. It is the same app fro all competitors, while the 
competitors only focus on the localization app. This is the main reason 
for the integration.

However, if you have problems with the integration of StepLogger please 
let me know as soon as possible so that to find a solution.

Thanks, looking forward hearing you.

M


of StepLogger is to split the logging functionalities from the 
localization  app.
