A system and a method are disclosed where a robot operating using a first traversal protocol traverses autonomously along a first route that is defined by markers that are detectable by the robot, wherein the robot is configured to move only based on a presence and type of each marker when the robot is configured to operate based on the first traversal protocol. The robot detects, while traversing along the route, a triggering condition corresponding to a change in operation by the robot from the first traversal protocol to a second traversal protocol. Responsive to detecting the triggering condition, the robot is configured to operate in the second traversal protocol, wherein the robot, when configured to operate based on the second traversal protocol, determines a second route autonomously without regard to a presence of any of the markers.
