Operating method for an autonomously operatable device, and an autonomously operatable device

An operating method for an autonomously operatable device, wherein the operating method is in an autonomous operating mode, the operating method comprising:

• detecting, by at least one sensor device, sensor data relating to a current surroundings condition of the autonomously operatable device in the autonomous operating mode;
• supplying, by the at least one sensor device, the sensor data to a control algorithm, wherein the control algorithm is a machine learning algorithm, and wherein the control algorithm learns in a self-contained manner;
• assessing, by the control algorithm, the current surroundings condition of the autonomously operatable device;
• making, by the control algorithm, a control decision based on the sensor data;
• determining, by a monitoring algorithm, a degree of quality relating to the control decision, wherein the monitoring algorithm is independent of the control algorithm;
• and
• performing one of following:
• operating the autonomously operatable device according to the control decision depending on the degree of quality;
• or
• rejecting the control decision and setting the autonomously operatable device to a secure operating state,
• wherein the monitoring algorithm determines a measure for an occupancy of a system resource of a first controller, and wherein the first controller processes the control algorithm and infers the degree of quality based on the measure.
