The embodiment of the invention discloses a robot control method and device. The method includes the steps that when touch operation acting on a touch screen is detected, control parameters corresponding to the touch operation are acquired; a robot is controlled to walk according to the control parameters; when position coordinate data of robot walking is received, real-time position coordinates of the robot are displayed in a preset map of an intelligent terminal, and the walking track of the robot is generated in the preset map. The problem of blind control over the robot in the prior art can be solved, and the purposes of tracking the walking track of the robot in real time and improving user experience are achieved.
