Quantification of animal behavior is critical to neuroscience, genetics, and ethology research. Despite the recent development of a deep-learning-based pose estimation model, the usage of those systems has been limited due to the various video recording environment and hardware systems. Here we introduce a novel open-field experimental hardware with multi-vision and a 3D real-time behavior analysis system, based on the efficient and rapid object-detection deep learning algorithm, named AVATAR (AI Vision Analysis for Three-dimensional Action in Real-time). Combining this system with an automate
