Zusammenfassung:A system and a method for charging automatically a mobile robot using an infrared sensor and a camera are provided to realize easy installation and initial setting by performing charge guidance and the position recognition of a robot through one device. A system for charging automatically a mobile robot using an infrared sensor and a camera includes plural infrared sensors(110), a charge station(200), and a charge guidance controller(240). The infrared sensors are mounted on a mobile robot. The charge station includes a camera(210) and a wireless communication unit. The camera is used to detect the infrared sensors. The wireless communication unit performs wireless communication with the mobile robot. The charge guidance controller identifies the position of the mobile robot using the infrared sensors and the camera, and performs automatic charging by driving the mobile robot to dock in the charge station.
