capacitive sensor + temperature monitor


these capacitive sensors are quite interesting. they build a charge within the aluminum foil and are able to sense the proximity of water in the human body (a similar version of the sensor used in the older mac monitors). if several of these were placed around the robot, a directionality and proximity reading of oncoming pedestrians could be obtained so that the player could potentially approach pedestrians to ask for directions.
