Robot and control method therefor, and method for controlling robot charging system including station device and robot

A method for controlling a robot, comprising:

• communicate with a station device based on an event for charging a battery;
• receiving information about a docking status from the station device based on the robot being docked with the station device;
• applying a current to an electromagnet included in the robot to generate a magnetic field based on the information about the docking status;
• and
• charging the battery by being supplied power from the station device based on the magnetic field being detected by a Hall sensor.

A method for controlling a robot charging system including a station device and a robot, comprising:

• establishing a connection between the robot and the station device while the robot is traveling toward the station device based on an event for charging a battery;
• turning on a switch included in the station device to transmit information about a docking status to the robot, based on the robot being docked with the station device;
• applying, by the robot, a current to an electromagnet included in the robot to generate a magnetic field based on the information about the docking status;
• supplying power based on the magnetic field being detected by a Hall sensor included in the station device;
• and
• charging, by the robot, the battery of the robot using the power supplied to the robot.
