A sealing device provided to a joint section of a robot. The sealing device includes overlapped seal portions having a multi-stage configuration, provided for a driving mechanism incorporated into the joint section. The overlapped seal portions include a first seal portion including a first contact seal element sealing a first inter-member gap defined adjacent to a lubricant retaining section provided in the driving mechanism; and a second seal portion arranged outside the first seal portion and including a second contact seal element sealing a second inter-member gap defined in a circumferential wall of the joint section, the circumferential wall defining an accommodation space for accommodating the driving mechanism.

A three-dimensional measurement apparatus of a slit light (or pseudo slit light) projection type that is adapted to prevent deterioration of measurement accuracy and to be easily miniaturized. Detected positions C, Care adopted that are determined so as to correspond to scanning lines on each of which a number of brightened pixels falls within an allowable range are detected. The allowable range varies from Nav &#xd7; amin to Nav &#xd7; amax or from Nav&#x2212;&#x3b2; to Nav +&#x3b3;, where Nav is an average of the numbers of brightened pixels detected on scanning lines for each of which at least one pixel is determined, and amin, amax, &#x3b2;, and &#x3b3; are minimum proper ratio, maximum proper ratio, subtract number of pixels, and add number of pixels, respectively, which are set in advance as parameters.
