People pay revisits to places encountered in the past seemingly oblivious of the time of the day, the weather conditions or even the season when the initial visits were made. They perform this task effortlessly mostly through the use of their sense of vision to recognize routes and landmarks and make navigational decisions. Can robots do the same? How does a robot process its visual sensory data and build a representation of the environment in such a way that enables it to recognize places that have been encountered in the past independently of the environmental conditions? These questions still challenge the robotics community today, and obstacles to robot autonomy. They are at the heart of this research proposal.

人们重游过去去过的地方，似乎忘记了最初访问时的时间、天气状况，甚至季节。 他们毫不费力地完成这项任务，主要是通过利用视觉来识别路线和地标并做出导航决策。机器人也能做同样的事吗？ 机器人如何处理其视觉感官数据并构建环境表示，使其能够独立于环境条件识别过去遇到过的地方？ 这些问题仍然挑战着当今的机器人界，也是机器人自主化的障碍。 它们是本研究计划的核心。
