Nao detects a heat source using a TPA81 thermal array sensor (Video)

Here's a robot video that I found interesting:



Using a TPA81 Thermal Array sensor, linked via an I2C to USB interface, Nao can detect and seek out heat sources within a room (Mistake in the titles: The sensor is a TPA81 not a TP81a - sorry)

    Thanks for posting the video, I am currently trying to get hold of a Panasonic Grid-Eye sesnor to enhance this. The Grid-EYE sensor will give us an 8×8 array to work with and thus allow far more detailed thermal control.
