-== Web-based knowledge visualizations (BA/HiWi) == 
- 
-{{ :research:knowledge-visualization.png?200}} 
- 
-The knowledge base visualization allows to display semantic environment maps, 
-objects, human poses, trajectories and similar information stored in the 
-robot's knowledge base. Its [[http://www.ros.org/wiki/mod_vis|current version]] 
-is written in Java and has grown old over the years. Recently, there has been 
-much progress in creating [[http://www.ros.org/wiki/interactive_markers|interactive 
-3D visualizations]] for ROS that can also be accessed with a 
-[[http://www.ros.org/wiki/wviz|web browser]]. This project is about creating 
-a web-based version of the visualization using these techniques. 
- 
-Requirements: 
-  * Good programming skills 
-  * Experience with JavaScript development 
-  * Knowledge of Web technologies (HTML, XML, OWL)

-== Tools for knowledge acquisition from the Web (BA/MA/HiWi) == 
- 
-There are several options for doing a project related to the acquisition of 
-knowledge from Web sources like online shops, repositories of object models, 
-recipe databases, etc. 
- 
-Requirements: 
-  * Programing skills (Java) 
-  * Experience with Web languages and datamining techniques is helpful 
-  * Depending on the focus of the project, experience with database technology, natural-language processing or computer vision may be helpful
