Claim 10:
11. A method for detecting a blind spot, comprising:
projecting, by at least one controller coupled to a robot traveling along a route, at least one virtual representation along the route upon detection of an object by a sensor coupled to the robot, the at least one virtual representation being configured to collect a plurality of virtual measurements of the object based on current localization data of the object on a computer readable map; and
determining, by the at least one controller, the blind spot based on intersections between at least one extended measurement from the sensor and at least one virtual measurement of the at least one virtual representation which does not detect the object; and
performing 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.
