A of the present day noncontact capacitive sensing technology from Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, is being used to withhold robots at correct distances and orientations from surfaces in hazardous environments.

The technology is being applied to bring out a sensor system for standoff dominion government of robots, converting sensor information into maps of the environment in order to locate and avoid collision with constituents

The Standoff Sensor hypothesis consists of a 4-in.-diameter sensor inside a rugg plastic housing. This lightweight assembly can be attached to a variety of robotically
