Abstract: Computing platforms, methods, and storage media for sensing and controlling with respect to a robot. A robot control and sensor system may include a pressure sensor configured to be mounted on a robot, and/or mounted on a robot peripheral, to measure a sensed pressure value at the robot. The pressure sensor operates with respect to first and second pressure thresholds. A controller is in communication with the pressure sensor and may be configured to: obtain, from the pressure sensor, a sensed pressure value relating to pressure applied to the robot at the pressure sensor; generate a soft reset notification to cause the robot to enter a soft reset mode when the sensed pressure value is above the first pressure threshold; and generate a hard reset notification to cause the robot to enter a hard reset mode when the sensed pressure value is above the second pressure threshold.
