The present disclosure provides an obstacle detection method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining, through the sensor module, image(s); detecting an obstacle image of an obstacle from the image(s) according to characteristic(s) of the obstacle; extracting image feature(s) of the obstacle; obtaining, through the sensor module, a position of the obstacle; associating the image feature(s) of the obstacle with the position of the obstacle; calculating a motion state a the obstacle based on the position information of the obstacle at different moments; and estimating the position of the obstacle in a detection blind zone of the robot based on the motion state. In such a manner, it is capable of providing more accurate position information of the obstacle in the detection blind zone, which is beneficial to the robot to plan a safe and fast moving path.
