+ | Dies ist ein Wissensrepräsentations-Thema. Basierend auf einem bestehenden Wissensgraphen mit Produktinformationen sollen weitere ernährungsspezifische Informationen wie z.B. Substitute für Rezeptzutaten oder Rezepte für spezielle Ernährungsgewohnheiten generiert werden.

+ | == Situational awareness in kitchen environments (MA Thesis) == | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is a knowledge representation topic including knowledge graphs. The idea is so link external Web-knowledge to an existing knowledge framework in order to include situational awareness so that a robot acting in a household environment can infer what an object is used for in a given situation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A result would be that a spoon next to a bowl with cereal would be used for eating while a spoon on a stove next to a pot would be used for stirring. | ||
+ | |||
+ | requirements: | ||
+ | * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework | ||
+ | * Work with knowledge graphs and Linked Data to create a situational awareness knowledge graph that can be linked to KnowRob | ||
+ | * Implement reasoning about situations (based on perceived environment) and object use | ||

+ | == Integration of novel objects into Digital Twin Knowledge Bases (MA Thesis) == | ||
+ | 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. | ||
- | == Physical Simulation | + | 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 or typical location and much more. | ||
- | For tracking people, the use of particle filters is a common approach. However, the quality of those filters heavily depends on the way particles are spread. In this thesis, a library for the physical simulation of a human model is to be implemented. | ||
Requirements: | Requirements: | ||
