Abstract
The information processing apparatus includes an estimation unit to estimate information indicating a holding success possibility from an image of a plurality of the target objects by using a pre-trained model that estimates the information indicating the holding success possibility in at least one or more partial regions, a determination unit to determine a holding region for the robot to hold the target object among the partial regions based on the information indicating the holding success possibility, and a control unit to move the robot based on the holding region and cause the robot to perform a holding operation on the target object. In a case where the holding operation performed on the target object by the robot is failed, the determination unit determines a partial region, among the partial regions, satisfying a predetermined condition as a next holding region based on the information indicating the holding success possibility.
