The present disclosure relates to a position detection apparatus and a position detection method of a distribution object, a robot, a distribution apparatus, and a controller, and relates to the field of robots. The apparatus includes: a plurality of ranging sensors arranged on an end surface of a protrusion member of a robot facing a placement region of the distribution object, wherein the protrusion member is located on a chassis of the robot and each of the plurality of ranging sensors is configured to detect a distance between the ranging sensor and an end surface of the distribution object facing the plurality of ranging sensors; and a controller configured to determine that the distribution object has been located at a predetermined position above the chassis in a case where the distance detected by each of the plurality of ranging sensors is not greater than a first distance threshold.
