N1 - Funding Information:
This study has been conducted as a part of the project : Humanoid at HUREL (Humanoid REsearch Laboratory), RISE (Advanced Research Institute for Science and Engineering), Waseda University. A part of this study was done by the Japanese Grant-in Aide for Science Research (No.07405012) and NED0 (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization). The authors would like to thank Tomio Otowa for helping develop WE-3R when he was a undergraduate student at Waseda university.

N2 - In this study the authors have been developing anthropomorphic head-eye robots, in order to elucidate the human vision system from an engineering point of view, and to develop a new human-friendly communication system. We developed an anthropomorphic head-eye robot "WE-3R" (Waseda Eye No.3 Refined) as a human-friendly head-eye subsystem of a humanoid robot "Hadaly-2". WE-3R has eyelids as hardware, while the functions of retina (adaptation) and iris (adjustment of the pupil diameter) are realized as software so WE-3R can adjust to brightness. The system can pursue objects in 3 dimensional space with adjusting to the brightness in a human-like manner that can be considered important for smooth and natural human-robot interaction.
