Software and hardware technologies are used for human presence detection. Unlike human sensing, that is dealing with human body only, human presence detection technologies are used to verify for safety, security or other reasons that human person, but not any other object is identified. Methods can be used for internet security authentication. These include software technologies such CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA, as well as hardware technologies such as:
The first robot to successfully demonstrate a static motion detection capability was ROBART I, which was Everett's 1981 thesis project at the Naval Postgraduate School.
In 1997 CAPTCHA was invented. Test is used for detection that computer is operated by human operator,preventing accessing protected resource by programs, spam robots.
