I. Introduction
Humans can keep on learning new knowledge by interacting with external environments and revisiting inner accumulated knowledge in a lifelong learning manner. This capability is also essential for intelligent robotic systems. In real-world applications, robots acquire new data sequentially over time, and they should have the ability to learn new objects continually and adapt to the dynamically changing environment autonomously in an online and interactive manner [1]. Particularly, online and continual object recognition is a crucial and fundamental ability for robotic visual perceptual systems. However, most machine-learning methods are incapable of updating the models incrementally and learning new knowledge without forgetting as new data arrives. Therefore, in recent years, online learning (OL) and continual learning have attracted more and more attention, which can address the above problems of classical machine-learning methods.
