Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a docking apparatus, a mobile robot, and a docking method for the docking apparatus. The docking apparatus comprises a processor and a plurality of photosensitive devices electrically connected to the processor, wherein the processor determines, from the plurality of photosensitive devices, a photosensitive device receiving a laser light, the laser light being emitted by an opposite-end apparatus to be docked with the docking apparatus. The connection apparatus, according to a position offset between the photosensitive device receiving the laser light and a target photosensitive device, is controlled to move to a docking position calibrated by means of the target photosensitive device, such that the docking apparatus and the opposite-end apparatus are docked with each other. The embodiments help improve the accuracy of docking between the connection apparatus and the opposite-end apparatus.
