A workstation including a workstation body, a horizontal omni-directional moving carrier, a sensor mechanism, a grabbing device, and a control unit is provided. The horizontal omni-directional moving carrier carries the workstation body. The sensor mechanism includes an oscillating bar and a plurality of electrodes. The oscillating bar pivoted on the workstation body leans against an autonomous mobile device when the device enters the workstation. The electrodes, disposed on the oscillating bar, electrically connect the autonomous mobile device when the oscillating bar leans against the autonomous mobile device. The grabbing device is disposed on the workstation body. The control unit is electrically connected to the electrodes and the grabbing device. When the oscillating bar leans against the autonomous mobile device, the control unit receives a signal from the electrodes and drives the grabbing device to grab the autonomous mobile device, such that the workstation body aligns with the autonomous mobile device.
