 There are sets of sensors on its head that allow it to sense people nearby and give Baxter the ability to adapt to its environment.These sensors give Baxter the ability to adapt to its surroundings, unlike other industrial robots which will either shut down or continue running incorrectly when their environment changes.For example, if it drops a tool without which it cannot do its job, Baxter will stop working, unlike some other robots, which will attempt to perform their job without the proper tools.
