Exploration Activities
Source Player Core pg. 430
While you're traveling and exploring, tell the GM what you'd generally like to do along the way. If you do nothing more than make steady progress toward your goal, you move at the full travel speeds given in the table.
When you want to do something other than simply travel, you describe what you're attempting to do. It isn't necessary to go into extreme detail, such as “Using my prybar from my infiltrator's toolkit, I nudge the door open a couple inches to check for security measures that respond to movement.” Instead, “I'm checking the door for hazards” is sufficient. The GM finds the best exploration activity to match your description and describes the effects of that activity. Some exploration activities limit how fast you can travel and be effective.
These are the most common exploration activities.
