Abstract :
We research and develop it aiming at the realization of a scooping goldfish robot copied from the method that a human being takes. This paper describes estimation method of the 3D position of a goldfish in a water tank. What is important and basic in distinguishing a timing to scoop a goldfish is to estimate the 3D position.
