Abstract A robot has a controller and a sensor. The sensor is communicatively coupled to the controller. The controller includes a contact response system. A safety response of the contact response system is activated for the sensor. A method of operation of the robot includes detecting, by the sensor, a contact between the robot and a human, the contact resulting from a motion of the robot, and determining, by the controller, whether the contact between the robot and the human is an expected or unexpected contact. In response to determining the contact between the robot and the human is an expected contact, the safety response is deactivated for the sensor to allow the robot to proceed with its motion uninterrupted. In response to determining the contact between the robot and the human is an unexpected contact, the contact response system causes the robot to interrupt the motion of the robot.
