Abstract: The invention relates to a system with a service station for an autonomous mobile robot. According to one embodiment, the system includes the service station having a service parking area for the robot into which the robot can drive from a front side of the service station. The system further includes a tank that is accessible to a user from the front side or connections for an external tank.

Abstract: An ultra-wide band (UWB) system, a target device and a method are disclosed. In an embodiment, the UWB system comprises a UWB transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals over a specific frequency range, and a UWB processor operably connected to the UWB to process the signals. The UWB processor being configured to broadcast parameters associated with a first authentication value, the parameters being sufficient to derive the first authentication value at a plurality of mobile devices, receive a plurality of second authentication values from the plurality of mobile devices, and receive a ranging data set for each valid second authentication value from a target secure element, the ranging data set being used to authenticate a mobile device associated with the valid second authentication value for secure communication via the UWB transceiver.

Abstract: A processing circuit of an ultra-wideband (UWB) system communicates in contention-based ranging (CBR) with UWB anchors to transmit a time stamp. The time stamp facilitates determination of distance between the UWB system and each of the UWB anchors. Upon transmission of the time stamp, the UWB system receives details associated with a distance between the UWB system and a corresponding UWB anchor that transmits the distance. The UWB system generates payloads to relay the distance in combination with an updated time stamp indicating a time of generation of the payloads to another UWB anchor. The payloads facilitate in multi-lateration of the UWB system.

Abstract: A method of locating a UWB enabled mobile device in a UWB based transit deployment is disclosed. The method implements a trilateration procedure between three known anchor positions of transit gates and implements position determination based on determination of distance values between three of the transit gates and an ultra-wideband (UWB) device. In effect, by means of the anchors a maximal amount of mobile devices can be recognized. Thus, a scalable transit scenario is implemented without needing additional anchor infrastructure. A discovery process is implemented, in which user are recognized in order to pay via fare transaction. The whole process of discovery, gate selection und fare transaction is thus possible without DL-TDoA infrastructure. In this way, advantageously, DL-TDoA infrastructure can be saved to a maximum extent. A following fare transaction can be carried out as defined by a transit provider.
