The at least one processor is programmed to: detect a predetermined pattern within at least one of the images, with this predetermined pattern being associated with a marker provided on a base station; respond to the detection of the predetermined pattern by determining, by a first process, an estimate of the robot's position and/or orientation, this estimate of the robot's position and orientation being relative to the base station, the at least one processor and the image obtaining device thereby forming part of a first positioning system for the robot; determine, by a second process, an alternative estimate of the robot's position and/or orientation, the at least one processor thereby forming part of a second positioning system for the robot; and perform at least one calibration of the second positioning system using the first positioning system.

A mobility service system provides a mobility service using a vehicle. The mobility service system includes one or more processors configured to assign a remote operator to a target vehicle in response to a request for remote support from the target vehicle. The remote support includes service support different from support of vehicle driving. When the remote support requested from the target vehicle is the service support, the one or more processors are further configured to execute a notification waiting process that prohibits a notification related to the service support from being issued to a passenger in the target vehicle until the remote operator is assigned to the target vehicle.

An automated storage and retrieval system includes a storage grid for storage of storage containers and a delivery system for transport of said storage containers between a delivery port of the storage grid and an access point of the delivery system. The access point is adapted for handling of items held in the storage containers by a robotic operator or human operator. The delivery system includes a delivery rail system including at least a first set of parallel rails arranged in a horizontal plane (P1) and extending in a first direction (X), and at least a second set of parallel rails arranged in the horizontal plane (P1) and extending in a second direction (Y) which is orthogonal to the first direction (X), the first and second sets of rails together defining a delivery grid of delivery grid cells, the access point, and a remotely operated delivery vehicle comprising a motorized vehicle body and a container carrier provided above the motorized vehicle body for carrying a storage container of the storage containers. The delivery vehicle is moveable on the delivery grid of the delivery rail system. The delivery grid provides one or more delivery grid cells for the remotely operated delivery vehicle at the access point as well as a plurality of delivery grid cells adjacent the one or more delivery grid cells of the access point, such that there is more than one path to and/or from the access point for the remotely operated delivery vehicle via the plurality of delivery grid cells. The remotely operated delivery vehicle is arranged to transport the storage container from the delivery port of the storage grid across the delivery grid to the access point and return the storage container to the delivery port for storage within the storage grid. The access point is provided in a container accessing station, said station being arranged for separating the robotic or human operator from the delivery rail system and the remotely operated delivery vehicle. The container accessing station comprises a cabinet comprising walls and a top cover supported thereon, wherein the items held in the storage container carried by a remotely operated delivery vehicle at the access point is reachable through an opening in the top cover.

A work vehicle includes: a traveling machine body; a work machine connected to the traveling machine body; a remote operation device that operates the traveling machine body; and an operation portion capable of setting a direction of a forward operation of the remote operation device to either a first direction from the work machine toward the traveling machine body or a second direction from the traveling machine body toward the work machine.
