A charging robot connects a contact-making device of an electric charging apparatus to an electric charging interface of a vehicle. The charging robot has a robot arm, which can be connected to the contact-making device. The robot arm is movable in at least three degrees of freedom in order to connect the contact-making device to the charging interface. The charging robot has a detection device for detecting an alignment of the vehicle charging interface. The robot arm has an adjuster for adjusting the contact-making device on the robot. Also described is a charging system for charging an electric energy store of a vehicle, and a method for adjusting the charging robot. The method includes detecting an alignment of the charging interface on the vehicle, and adjusting the contact-making device on the charging robot on the basis of the detected alignment of the charging interface.
