# Long-term perception for robotics systems and applications

## Abstract

In various examples, a technique for performing a task includes converting one or more sensory inputs obtained using one or more sensors of a machine into a plurality of segments. The technique also includes, for each segment included in the plurality of segments, generating, via execution of a machine learning model, a caption for the segment, and storing, in a data store, a representation of the caption in association with the segment. The technique further includes performing, by the machine, one or more actions based at least on one or more queries of the data store.
