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.
