Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a controller of controlling a robot. The method comprising detecting a pattern of a series of external forces applied on a portion of at least one arm link of the robot; comparing the pattern with a predetermined pattern associated with the portion; and in accordance with a determination that the detected pattern matches the predetermined pattern, controlling the robot to perform an action corresponding to the predetermined pattern. By introducing a pattern of a series of external forces applied on a robot to control the robot, the control of the robot can be done more intuitively. In this way, some intermediate steps such as conversion of view angle and instructions required to use the HMI-based methods are omitted, thereby improving efficiency or reliability of the robot.
