and determining the position of each step of the robot in the transverse direction during crawling according to the initial position, the target position and the length of the crawling robot. And determining the position of the crawling robot in the longitudinal direction of each step during crawling according to the initial position, the target position and the length of the supporting legs of the crawling robot.
Step 302: determining the distance between every two steps by using the position between every two steps;
step 303: and controlling the first travelling mechanism and the second travelling mechanism of the crawling robot to crawl through the distance between every two steps.
Therefore, the distance between every two steps of the crawling robot is determined according to the initial position and the target position of the crawling robot and the length of the crawling robot, and the crawling of the first travelling mechanism and the second travelling mechanism of the crawling robot is controlled according to the distance between every two steps, so that the detection efficiency is improved.

For example, the distance between every two steps in the longitudinal direction is a meters, and the distance between every two steps in the transverse direction is b meters. It is determined that the crawling robot has a displacement amount b in the longitudinal direction and a displacement amount a in the lateral direction. The supporting legs of the first traveling mechanism and the supporting legs of the second traveling mechanism of the crawling robot are controlled to alternately move a meters in the longitudinal direction and the supporting legs of the first traveling mechanism and the supporting legs of the second traveling mechanism of the crawling robot are controlled to alternately move b meters forward in the transverse direction, so that the supporting legs of the first traveling mechanism and the supporting legs of the second traveling mechanism of the crawling robot alternately move in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction respectively.

For example, if the number of steps that the crawling robot needs to crawl is 20, and the number of steps that the crawling robot has crawled is determined to be 15, it is determined that the number of steps that the crawling robot has crawled is not equal to the number of steps that the crawling robot needs to crawl, and the crawling robot is controlled to continue crawling. And controlling the crawling robot to stop crawling until the crawling robot is determined to crawl for 20 steps.
Thus, it is determined when to control the crawling robot to stop crawling by the number of steps that have already been crawled and the number of steps that need to be crawled.

step 404: controlling each supporting leg of the first traveling mechanism and each supporting leg of the second traveling mechanism of the crawling robot to alternately move in the longitudinal direction according to the displacement amount in the longitudinal direction;
step 405: controlling each supporting leg of a first travelling mechanism and each supporting leg of a second travelling mechanism of the crawling robot to realize alternate movement in the transverse direction according to the displacement in the transverse direction;
step 406: judging whether the number of steps crawled by the crawling robot is equal to the number of steps to be crawled, if so, executing step 407, and if not, returning to execute step 403;
step 407: and controlling the crawling robot to finish crawling.
