In this paper, we propose a system for real-time rat pose estimation based on stereo vision. The system is dedicated to robot-rat interaction research. First, we design a lightweight, high-resolution network (RRKDNet) for keypoint detection of the rat. The network is trained on a dataset of rat images, which are captured by the robotic rat in first-person view. Second, based on the keypoint detect...
