Abstract
An object detecting method includes imaging a plurality of target objects with an imaging section and acquiring a first image, recognizing an object position/posture of one of the plurality of target objects based on the first image, counting the number of successfully recognized object positions/postures of the target object, outputting, based on the object position/posture of the target object, a signal for causing a holding section to hold the target object, calculating, as a task evaluation value, a result about whether the target object was successfully held, updating, based on an evaluation indicator including the number of successfully recognized object positions/postures and the task evaluation value, a model for estimating the evaluation indicator from an imaging position/posture of the imaging section and determining an updated imaging position/posture, acquiring a second image in the updated imaging position/posture, and recognizing the object position/posture of the target object based on the second image.
