The easy and quick detection of a contour shape of an object from three dimensional point group data, and control a robotic arm and a tool using it. An information processing method comprising: a step of acquiring three-dimensional point group data by a sensor from an object, a step of specifying a contour point group data that constitutes a contour of the object from the three-dimensional point group data, a step of acquiring tool control information including tool position information and tool posture information for specifying a tool trajectory of the tool connected to the arm of the working robot from the contour point group data, and a step of controlling the tool based on the tool control information.
