Original Abstract Submitted
A robot system includes a mobile robot. The mobile robot includes a power receiving pad and a sensor. The power receiving pad is configured to receive power supply from a power transmission pad of a charger. The sensor is disposed at a position displaced from the power receiving pad in an up-down direction, and configured to detect a surrounding object. The power receiving pad is provided as inclined in the up-down direction so as to project toward the sensor. The power transmission pad is provided as inclined in the up-down direction so as to face the power receiving pad. A distal end of the sensor on a side toward the power transmission pad is disposed on an outer side, in top view, with respect to the distal end of the power receiving pad.
