The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for dodging an obstacle, and a movable object. The method includes: obtaining acceleration information of a movable object; determining, according to the acceleration information of the movable object that the movable object collides; determining, according to the acceleration information, a direction for dodging an obstacle; and controlling the movable object to move along the direction for dodging the obstacle, to avoid the obstacle. In embodiments of the present invention, collision of the movable object and a dodging direction can be accurately informed according to the acceleration information of the movable object, to effectively avoid an obstacle and avoid continuously hitting the obstacle.
