Abstract: A drive device for a transport means changing system, comprising: a drive train configured for use on the road; an interface configured for coupling to a passenger cabin and/or cargo cabin; comprising a work device which performs work activities, which are independent of transportation, wherein the drive device has a first operating mode in which it is coupled to at least one passenger cabin and/or cargo cabin and is configured to carry out autonomous transportation of passengers and/or cargo, and wherein the drive device has a second operating mode in which it is decoupled from a passenger cabin and/or cargo cabin and configured for autonomous mobile performance of the work activities by the work device or by a coupled tool module. The present invention further relates to a corresponding use of a drive device and a corresponding transport means changing system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system consisting of a connection node and at least one first connection body, wherein: the connection node comprises a connection node central body, a first connection element for joining with the connection body, and at least one second connection element for joining with a second connection body; the first connection element and the second connection element are connected or may be connected to the connection node central body; and at least one portion of the connection node central body and/or of the first connection element and/or of the second connection element is manufactured by means of an additive process, for example 3D printing, or by means of a casting process.
