Abstract
There is provided a data processing device, a data processing method, and a cooking robot that allow for object sensing with use of an appropriate algorithm. The data processing device according to one aspect of the present technology adaptively selects, in accordance with an object sensing condition, and executes an object sensing program in which an object sensing algorithm for sensing an object on the basis of sensor data output from a sensor mounted on a robot is defined. The present technology can be applied to sensor devices mounted on various devices.
