Abstract
A charging robot includes: a station; a multi-joint manipulator including a plurality of first joints and a plurality of second joints which have rotation axes orthogonal to each other and are connected with each other alternately, the joint manipulator being provided on the station; a charging connector provided on an end of the multi-joint manipulator; a manipulator moving mechanism configured to move the multi-joint manipulator to an outside of the station; a first motor configured to pivot the first joint by a predetermined angle when the first joint is positioned at a set point; a first actuator configured to move the first motor toward the first joint and to connect the first motor to the first joint when the first joint is positioned at the set point; a second motor configured to pivot the second joint by a predetermined angle when the second joint is positioned at the set point; and a second actuator configured to move the second motor toward the second joint and to connect the second motor to the second joint when the second joint is positioned at the set point.
