The present disclosure provides a localization method as well as a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining laser scan points and particles; mapping each of the laser scan points to a global coordinate system based on each of the particles to obtain global boundary points of each of the particles; finding a matching boundary point in the global boundary points by comparing the global boundary points of the particle with points corresponding to static objects in a known map; calculating a distance between the matching boundary point of the particle and the points corresponding to the static objects, and increasing a weight of the matching boundary point if the distance is less than a preset threshold; calculating a weight of the particle by matching the global boundary points of the particle with the known map; and estimating a localization result.
