The invention relates to the technical field of robots, and provides a robot dodging method and device. The method includes obtaining the position information of a cross point, the current position information of a first robot and the current position information of a second robot when a preset path of the first robot and the preset path of the second robot exist path crossing; determining a dodging robot and a dodged robot from the first robot and the second robot according to the preset path of the first robot, the preset path of the second robot, the current position information of the first robot, the current position information of the second robot and the position information of the cross point; and calculating the dodging wait duration and dodging point of the dodging robot according to the current position information of the dodging robot, the current position information of the dodged robot and the position information of the cross point. Reasonable dodging between the encountered robots can be realized by reasonably determining the dodging robot, the dodging waiting duration and dodging point.
