Abstract
An object state identification method of identifying a position and a posture of an object by obtaining actual measured values at a plurality of points on a flat portion including an opening on a surface of the object by a sensor includes generating a model value group that is a set of model values indicating the positions of a plurality of points present on surfaces of a corner model, calculating a model feature value based on at least one model value included in the model value group, calculating an actual feature value by the same method used to calculate the model feature value, extracting a corresponding point value indicating a position of an edge of the opening based on the actual feature value that matches the model feature value, and identifying the position and posture of the object based on the corresponding point value.
