Short Range Capacitive Proximity Sensing
In this paper we investigate a short range capacitive proximity sensor as complementary sensor system in situations, where conventional optical based sensor systems have short comings, e.g., due to space requirements. In the presented collision avoidance scenario it can be used even without any vision or Lidar based sensor system. Our sensor is capable of detecting humans and objects made of co...
متن کاملCapacitive proximity sensing in smart environments
To create applications for smart environments we can select from a huge variety of sensors that measure environmental parameters or detect activities of different actors within the premises. Capacitive proximity sensors use weak electric fields to recognize conductive objects, such as the human body. They can be unobtrusively applied or even provide information when hidden from view. In the pas...

متن کاملCapacitive sensors for detecting proximity and response.
We have implemented an inexpensive circuit that indicates when a subject is in close proximity to a specified area of arbitrary shape and size. The circuit can transform an easily created metal surface or a preexisting metal object into an experimental sensor. The subject need not make physical contact with the sensor to activate the mechanism, which enables the detection of subjects through no...
