Abstract

A method for positioning an in-oil inspection robot for a storage tank bottom plate, an apparatus, a medium and a product are provided. The method includes: selecting those of acoustic signal receivers that generate voltage amplitudes, when receiving an acoustic signal, being greater than a predetermined voltage amplitude as available receivers, calculating a difference between an absolute arrival time corresponding to the available receiver and an absolute arrival time corresponding to an available receiver ranked first to obtain a relative arrival time corresponding to the available receiver; and positioning the in-oil inspection robot for the storage tank bottom plate further according to the relative arrival time.
