The invention provides a plane robot position detection method and system based on a capacitive touch screen, belonging to a plane robot position detection method and system. The method and system are used for accurately detecting a plane robot end position coordinate. The system comprises a capacitive screen triggering device, a capacitive touch screen support device, a display screen, a computer, and an auxiliary fixing device, wherein the capacitive screen triggering device comprises a fixed magnet, a spring control board, a magnetic shield material, a reset spring, an electromagnet, a capacitive screen trigger, and an electromagnet connection wire. The capacitive touch screen support device comprises a support device base, an adjustment platform, an adjustment knob, anti-skid support legs, a rotation bearing, a capacitive touch screen, and a touch screen fixed pad. The auxiliary fixing device comprises a clamping base, a clamping plate and a clamping screw. The invention provides the plane robot position detection method and system based on a capacitive touch screen, and the problems of a complex measurement process, a long measurement time, limited measurement range and serious damage of a measuring instrument of an existing method are solved.
