The centre-back, 31, had been training with the club after a transfer move abroad fell through.
Dunne - who had been at St Mirren for three years - has now penned a deal until January as defensive cover for Robinson's side.

The St Mirren boss had been on the look out for cover after Alex Iacovitti was ruled out until Christmas with Richard Taylor playing through a hernia issue which will require surgery in the future.
On Dunne's return, Robinson commented: "We needed cover and Charles has been training with us coincidentally for five to six weeks now because a move he was expecting abroad has fallen through.
"It works for both parties on a short-term basis. We get a very experienced SPFL player that we know can come in and hit the ground running. He's very familiar with everything we do and is a fantastic character around the place.

"We’re delighted to have him on board again. He was the best that we could get and we’re lucky that he was still available in our situation.
"Alex Iacovitti is injured until Christmas and Richard Taylor has an ongoing problem with his hernia. We felt we had no cover on the left-hand side. Young Luke Kenny is right-footed and putting him in that area wouldn't be the right thing to do.
"Everyone was trying to put two and two together because he was training with us but there was no intention from either party. But we got the injuries and he became the perfect solution for us on a short-term basis."
