The invention discloses a method for adjusting running speed of a robot in real time. Movement elements are analyzed through a demonstrating track, track planning and interpolation are carried out, and an interpolation command is corrected by inputted speed adjusting parameters to achieve the purpose of adjusting the speed in real time. According to the control command corrected by the method, a curve can be changed smoothly and continuously, so that stress on a mechanical system is not impacted or changed suddenly, a control effect is soft, and loss on moving parts is reduced. Meanwhile, the method is simple in control logic and small in calculated amount, and meets control requirements on instantaneity of a robot control system. When the speed is adjusted, only a standard process requires to be demonstrated according to actual working conditions, then a monitoring terminal is debugged to transmit different speed adjusting commands, a robot control system responds the received speed adjusting parameters so that the effect of changing the running speed of the robot can be achieved, work complexity of operators is greatly simplified, the field processing efficiency is improved, and standardized operation of the robot is facilitated.
