+ | |||
+ | In this thesis, the goal is to make a robotic system learn new objects automatically. | ||
+ | The system should be able to generate the necessary models required for re-detecting it again and also consult online information sources to automatically acquire knowledge about it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The focus of the thesis would be two-fold: | ||
+ | * Develop methods to automatically infer the object class of new objects. This would include perceiving it with state of the art sensors, constructing a 3d model of it and then infer the object class from online information sources. | ||
+ | * In the second step the system should also infer factual knowledge about the object from the internet and assert it into a robotic knowledgebase. Such knowledge could for example include the category of this product, typical object properties like its weight | ||
- | Tasks: | ||

+ | == Game Engine Developer and 3D-Modelling | ||
+ | A recent development in the field of AI is the usage of photorealistic simulations, | ||
+ | In our research group, we focus on the development of modern robots that can make use of the potential of game engines. This requires a high degree of specialized game engine plugins that can simulate certain aspects of our research. Another important task is the creation of 3d models. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Therefore, we are currently offering multiple Hiwi positions / student jobs for the following tasks: | ||
+ | * Modelling of objects for the use in Unreal Engine 4. | ||
+ | * Creation of specific simulation aspects in Unreal Engine 4. For example the development of interactable objects. | ||
+ | |||
