Outline of Final Research Achievements	It is known that sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a serious problem in developed nations. According to the statistics data, it is said that SAS patient has a traffic accident-generation risk of approximately three times in comparison with non-SAS patient. The device which it is simple and is easy to use should be developed to prevent the SAS situation for the mild and moderate patients. In this paper, we develop an automatic judgement system of apnea state for a SAS patient and an adaptive control of a robotic arm system which stimulates turning over in bed for SAS patients only using non-contact type sensors. Experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of our developed equipment.
