The ability to search for objects is a precondition for various robotic tasks. In this paper, we address the problem of finding objects in partially known indoor environments. Using the knowledge of the floor plan and the mapped objects, we consider object-object and object-room co-occurrences as prior information for identifying promising locations where an unmapped object can be present. We prop...
