Abstract
An exemplary touch sensitive robot includes a body, a touch sensor, a driver, and a controller. The body includes a control panel. The touch sensor includes a first conductive belt wrapped on the body, a second conductive belt provided around but spaced away from the first conductive belt, a power source applying a voltage to two distal ends of the first conductive voltage, and a voltage sensor interconnected between an end of the first conductive belt and an end of the second conductive belt. The second conductive belt is electrically deformable and contacts the first conductive belt when touched by a user so that a measured voltage of the voltage sensor change dependently of the location of the touch. The controller is for controlling the driver to spin the body based upon the measured voltage to orient the control panel to the user.
