A module (200) for connecting a mobile robot (110) to associated equipment (400) is provided, as well as to a device (700, 800) for connecting equipment to a docking station (900, 1000). The module (200) has a housing (210) defining the exterior of said module (200). The module (200) comprises a plurality of locking members (220a, 220b, 220c, 220d) each being moveable between an idle position, in which the locking member (220a, 220b, 220c, 220d) is arranged fully within said housing (210), and a projecting position, in which at least a part of the locking member (220a, 220b, 220c, 220d) is extending outside the housing (210).
