Claim 5:
6. A system for detecting a blind spot, comprising:
a memory comprising a plurality of computer readable instructions stored thereon; and
at least one controller configured to execute the computer readable instructions to,
project at least one virtual representation along a route traveled by a robot upon detection of an object by a sensor coupled to the robot,
collect a plurality of virtual measurements of the object based on current localization data of the object on a computer readable map, and
determine the blind spot based on intersections between at least one extended measurement from the sensor coupled to the robot and at least one virtual measurement of the at least one virtual representation which does not detect the object; and
perform a safety action upon navigating a predetermined distance from a point along a route proximate to the blind spot, the safety action comprising at least one of a visual indication, an auditory noise, a change of trajectory, or change of velocity of the robot.
