Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon for controlling a robotic device, the program code executed by a processor and comprising:
program code to observe a first object associated with an object type at one or more first locations in an environment over a period of time prior to a current time;
program code to generate a probability distribution associated with the one or more first locations based on observing the first object over the period of time;
program code to observe, at the current time, a second object associated with the object type at a second location in the environment;
program code to determine a probability of the second object being at the second location based on observing the second object at the second location, the probability being based on the probability distribution associated with the one or more first locations; and
program code to control the robotic device to perform an action based on the probability being less than a threshold.
