The recent advances of mechatronics and control technologies make it possible to realize human friendly sensing for next generation. Such systems are employed in several industrial fields and contribute an efficient production. In the present application, however, the progress of flexibility and reliability against an environmental variation is strongly required in the intelligent mechanical system. The important issue to realize the adaptive ability against the environmental variation is to make the most of the interactive information among systems. This sophisticated control of the whole system based on an intelligent system part is a key technology. The more requirements are to develop intelligent and flexible sensor part and its application to a whole motion system. In such system, there will be still several problems to be considered. This report contains the following chapter to cover the above issue. Firstly, the EEG evaluation system is introduced. In chapter 2, we propose an arrangement and detection method of an invisible calibration pattern based on characteristics of human visual perception. It is suggest that the proposed method protect page layout and artwork. In chapter 3, we show the abnormal action detection system using image sequences for aged people. Furthermore in chapter 4, we propose to create the initial 3D map by using the stereo cameras in the HMD whose extrinsic parameters between the two cameras are calibrated in advance. In the chapter 5, to investigate the effects of music on image impression, we proposed a new evaluation system in terms of the physical properties of images. Finally, the vision-based motion control of mobile robotic systems for human support is introduced. Moreover, in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed system, real experiment is illustrated.
