The present invention relates to a mobile robot and a method for docking the mobile robot with a charging station. The method for docking a mobile robot with a charging station according to the present invention includes a step of photographing peripheral images when the mobile robot receives a charging command signal from a user terminal; a step of determining whether the charging station is recognized or not based on the peripheral images; a step of generating a robot-driving command signal for determining whether the mobile robot should be moved or not and which direction the mobile robot should be moved depending on a result of the previous determination; a step of determining whether the mobile robot faces the front of the charging station or not when the mobile robot starts to move in accordance with the robot-driving command signal and then approaches the charging station; a step of generating a rotation command signal for rotating the charging station depending on a result of previous determination and transmitting the rotation command signal to the charging station; a step of docking the mobile robot with the charging station by driving the mobile robot when the charging station is rotated in accordance with the rotation command signal. In this way, according to the present invention, a speedy and accurate docking becomes possible by rotating the charging station for the mobile robot to be accurately docked with the charging station.
