Abstract
Anybody whose temperature differs from absolute zero (0K) emits and absorbs electromagnetic radiation coming from, one hand, the physico-chemical nature and on the other hand, the action of intrinsic mechanisms of vibrational energies of the molecules. In this paper, we propose a robot that exploits this characteristic to detect and to track a thermal source in its environment. The system consists of a mobile platform having mounted a thermal detection device using thermopiles that is controlled by a computer via a graphical user interface.
