Abstract
A method in accordance with at least some embodiments of the present technology includes generating, by data-processing hardware operably associated with a mobile robot, a putative object estimate. The method further includes determining, by the data-processing hardware, a location of a landmark within a working environment in which the mobile robot operates. The method further includes determining, by the data-processing hardware, an expected object location in the working environment based at least partially on the location of the landmark. The method further includes determining, by the data-processing hardware, a correspondence between the putative object estimate and the expected object location. The method further includes processing, by the data-processing hardware, the putative object estimate based at least partially on the correspondence. Finally, the method includes controlling the mobile robot based at least partially on a result of processing the putative object estimate.
