Abstract
An estimating device including: a detecting section detecting electrical characteristics at a flexible material that is electrically conductive and has electrical characteristics that vary in accordance with a magnitude of an applied stimulus and that is at an assisting member that has the flexible material and is provided at a transporting section that transports a transported object; and an estimating section that inputs time-series electrical characteristics to a learning model that is trained by using, as learning data, time-series electrical characteristics at times when a stimulus was applied to the flexible material, and placed state information expressing a placed state of the transported object with respect to the assisting member that applies a stimulus to the flexible material, such that the time-series electrical characteristics are inputs of the learning model and the learning model outputs the placed state information expressing a placed state corresponding to inputted time-series electrical characteristics.
