LOST: localization-space trails for robot teams

Cushioning member that has a thickness greater than that of a card-type electronic device and is formed of an elastic material is detachably attached to the peripheral edge portion of the electronic device, thereby covering at least the four corner portions of the electronic device. The card-type electronic device having the cushioning member thereon is opposed to a seating surface of a seating portion, and a retaining member is located on the electronic device so as to face the seating surface. The cushioning member is clamped between the retaining member and the seating surface, and the card-type electronic device is held on the seating portion by the cushioning member.
