-Integrating the [[https://www.willowgarage.com/pages/pr2/overview|PR2]] robot with [[http://www.ros.org/|ROS]] support in the [[https://www.unrealengine.com|Unreal Engine 4]] Framework.
+**Motivation:**
-Requirements:
+With robotics playing a significant role in various domains, simulation is essential for developing and testing algorithms. Multiple simulators are available, each with its own specialized format (SDF, USD, MJCF, URDF, FBX) for describing scenes. This diversity of formats makes it challenging to transfer scenarios between simulators. Therefore, a versatile parser that can convert scene descriptions between these formats is highly valuable.
-  * Good programming skills in C/C++
-  * Basic physics/rendering engine knowledge
-  * Basic ROS knowledge
-  * UE4 basic tutorials

-Creating new user interfaces (panel customization) for various internal plugins using the Unreal C++ framework [[https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Slate/|SLATE]].
+In dieser Arbeit soll anhand eines alltäglichen Beispiels (einem Roboter, der verschiedene Mahlzeiten zubereiten soll), Wissen verbunden werden. Aufbauend auf vorherigen Arbeiten und bestehenden Ontologien, die verschiedene Informationen enthalten, sollen Rezeptinstruktion per NLP tools untersucht werden, ob die Art der Zubereitung deutlich wird (z.B. backen, frittieren etc.). Diese Zubereitungsart soll mit einer bestehenden Ontologie zu Substituten für Zutaten verbunden werden. Die Ergebnisse sollen in einer Anwendung auf einer website visualisiert werden.
+Die Aufgaben dazu sind:
+  * Einarbeitung in Wissensrepräsentation und die Verbindung von Ontologien (entity matching)
+  * Einarbeitung in python und die Bibliotheken CoreNLP, owlready zur Bearbeitung der Ontologien
+  * Erstellung einer website, die auf die Ontologien zugreift
