In the future autonomous robots will share their environment information captured by range sensors like LiDAR or ToF cameras. In this paper it is shown that a two dimensional position and heading information, e.g. obtained by GPS tracking methods, is enough to initialize a 3D registration method using the range images from different perspectives of different platforms (e.g. car & infrastructure). Thus they will be able to explore their surrounding in a cooperative manner.

In this paper, wireless power and data transmission through coupled magnetic resonators is investigated. Measurements on a simple prototype lead to a simplified schematic model. Based on this, the transfer channel's behaviour is modeled for arbitrary channel states (e.g. transfer distances) and can be fitted into a mathematical model. This is finally used to show that shifting the resonant frequencies of the individual resonators is a good means to ensure stabele data and energy transmission.

Apertures in shielding enclosures are an important issue for determining shielding efficiencies. Bethe’s theory describes the coupling via field excited dipole moments at the location of the aperture. This approach neglects the reaction of the dipoles on the exciting field and therefore violates energy conservation. This work emphasizes an analytical asymptotic approach for coupling between half-spaces through small apertures, which allows an understandable generalization of Bethe’s theory.
