    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot distance measuring method and apparatus as well as a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a plurality of relative position parameters of a robot from a plurality of ranging sensors; determining an installation distance between each two of the ranging sensors based on the plurality of relative position parameters; determining a sum of the installation distance of each looping arrangement of the plurality of ranging sensors based on the installation distance between each two of the ranging sensors; and enabling the plurality of ranging sensors sequentially to perform obstacle ranging according to a preset looping rule. Since the adjacent ranging sensors are avoided to range simultaneously or sequentially, the interference of the adjacent ranging sensors can be minimized, the accuracy of measuring the distance of the surrounding obstacles can be improved, thereby improving the navigation performance of the robot.
