Abstract
Embodiments are provided that include maintaining a map of a plurality of markers in an environment. The map includes a last detection time of each marker of the plurality of markers. The embodiments also include receiving a set of detected markers from a robotic device that is configured to localize in the environment using the plurality of markers. The embodiments further include updating, in the map, the last detection time of each marker which has a mapped position that corresponds to a detected position of a detected marker in the set of detected markers. The embodiments additionally include identifying, from the plurality of markers in the map, a marker having a last detection time older than a threshold amount of time. The embodiments still further include initiating an action related to the identified marker.
