A charging apparatus used with a mobile robot has an improved charging
structure so that a mobile robot is easily brought into electrical
contact with a charging unit, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and
preventing a charging failure. The charging unit is provided with a
plurality of charging terminals which are brought into electrical contact
with corresponding ones of contact terminals of the mobile robot. Each of
the charging terminals includes a body and a head. A contact plate is
mounted to a predetermined portion of the head to be brought into
electrical contact with a corresponding one of the contact terminals.
