    Abstract: An electrical charging station for charging an autonomous robot having a battery. The charging station includes a first charging member configured to receive a second charging member on the autonomous robot when the autonomous robot is docked with the charging station. There is a communications device configured to receive from the autonomous robot an identifier indicative of a type of battery on the autonomous robot. There is a power supply, electrically connected to the first charging member, configured to charge the autonomous robot according to a charging profile. The charging profile is selected based at least in part on the identifier received from the autonomous robot.

    Abstract: An electrical charging station for charging an autonomous robot includes a charging station frame having a frame base with a plurality of interconnected frame elements configured to be secured to a floor. One of the frame elements is a front side frame element. There is a charging station cover mounted on the charging station frame and the charging station cover includes a front side cover having a front surface with a charging member. There is a protective member extending across and having a front surface projecting outwardly from the front surface of the front side cover. The protective member is interconnected to the front side frame element through a plurality of apertures in the front side cover and the front side frame element is located adjacent to a back surface of the front side cover, opposite the front surface.
