If the robot is kidnapped at the beginning of exploration (right after the initial map is created), can it figure out its location? Or does the robot start exploration again?

The vSLAM algorithm contains a novel approach for data processing which enables quick detection and recovery from kidnapping scenarios. Though it’s not advisable to kidnap the robot immediately before the landmark database is dense, the robot typically still recovers nicely. However, the recovery from an early kidnapping may be somewhat more time consuming than the recovery from kidnapping when the landmark map is dense and stabilized. Note that the robot does not restart the map building from scratch when it has been kidnapped.
