The head
The head of the robot detects people by sensing body temperature. It's based on an 8 by 8 grid of infrared sensors as shown on the Heat seeking eyeball page.
Most of the display shows the temperatures using a color code. The green square is where the highest temperature is. That value is shown in the lower left corner. The color of the lower section turns green when a person is detected.
