A robot control method for controlling robot walking includes: generating control information, based on a plurality of postures corresponding to different points of time and at least including a reference posture when a robot is independently standing without falling down, and controlling the robot so that the robot performs a predetermined walking motion; and determining whether a value of a gyro index is larger than a predetermined threshold value, during the controlling of the robot, and, when the value of the gyro index is larger than the predetermined threshold value, performs a reflex control processing.
