Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a charging apparatus for a mobile robot, including a caster guide for guiding a charging terminal, provided for the charging apparatus, and a corresponding terminal, corresponding to the charging terminal, to readily come into contact with each other, in which by determining a contact position of the two terminals in a longitudinal direction using a first guide surface to a third guide surface, and by determining a contact position of the two terminals in a traverse direction using a caster guide having a wide rear portion and a narrow front portion, the charging apparatus for the mobile robot may guide the two terminals to vertically overlap with each other.
