Abstract
A method for controlling a robotic device based on observed object locations is presented. The method includes observing objects in an environment. The method also includes generating a probability distribution for locations of the observed objects. The method further includes controlling the robotic device to perform an action when an object is at a location in the environment with a location probability that is less than a threshold.
