<p>A charging method of a charging system for a movable robot is provided to easily and securely charge the movable robot without a predetermined moving path, by detecting the robot, when the robot approaches a charging station. Movable robots(1-3) include head units, shoulder units, and tapered hip units. An inlet of a charging station(80-3) has an opening for receiving the movable robot and tapered shape corresponding to the tapered unit of the movable robot. A visual mark, such as a recognizable color pattern or a cyber code, is arranged in front of the opening. When the movable robot recognizes the visual mark by using a camera, the movable robot approaches the charging station. The movable robot is guided into the opening through the tapered portion of the charging station, so that the movable robot is securely connected to the charging station.</p> |
