Abstract
A method for operating a robot traveling in an environment includes the robot sensing the environment and thereby creating sensor data; generating at least one probabilistic finding based on the sensor data, wherein the probabilistic finding is expressed as an object score and wherein the object score indicates a probability of detection of an object; setting at least one detection threshold; and, based on the at least one detection threshold, transforming the at least one probabilistic finding based on the sensor data to at least one discrete finding. The method is for operating a robot crossing a road. The robot is configured to be controlled by at least one human operator when crossing the road. Setting the at least one detection threshold is based on a level of supervision by the at least one human operator when crossing the road.
