 +== Lisp / CRAM support assistant (HiWi) ==
  
- +Technical support for the group for Lisp and the CRAM framework. \\ 
-== HiWi-Position: Testing and Extension of Automated Experiment Environments for Robot Plans== +5 hours per week for up to 1 year (paid).
- +
-When dealing with real-world robot tasks, simulation that is close to reality is key to test behavior-driven, smart robot plans before they are deployed on an actual physical system. In this HiWi job, I am looking for a competent student (preferably with prior experience in ROS) that performs, tests, and extends a simulated experiment world featuring a PR2 robot that autonomously performs tasks.+
  
 Requirements: Requirements:
-  * Experience in ROS +  * Good programming skills in Common Lisp 
-  * Passion for Robotics +  * Basic ROS knowledge
-  * Ideally programming skills in Lisp, Prolog, and Java+
  
-Contact: [[team:jan_winkler|Jan Winkler]]+The student will be introduced to the CRAM framework at the beginning of the job, which is a robot programming framework written in Lisp. The student will then be responsible for assisting not familiar with the framework people, explaining them the parts they don't understand and pointing them to the relevant documentation sources.

-== GPU-based Parallelization of Numerical Optimization Techniques (BA/MA/HiWi)== 
  
-In the field of Machine Learning, numerical optimization techniques play a focal role. However, as models grow larger, traditional implementations on single-core CPUs suffer from sequential execution causing a severe slow-down. In this thesis, state-of-the-art GPU frameworks (e.g. CUDA) are to be investigated in order implement numerical optimizers that substantially profit from parallel execution.+== Integrating PR2 in the Unreal Game Engine Framework (BA)== 
 + {{ :research:unreal_ros_pr2.png?200|}} 
  
-Requirements: +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.
-  * Skills in numerical optimization algorithms +
-  * Good programming skills in Python and C/C++ +

-== Online Learning of Markov Logic Networks for Natural-Language Understanding (MA)== +
- +
-Markov Logic Networks (MLNs) combine the expressive power of first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models. In the past, they have been successfully applied to the problem of semantically interpreting and completing natural-language instructions from the web. State-of-the-art learning techniques mostly operate in batch mode, i.e. all training instances need to be known in the beginning of the learning process. In context of this thesis, online learning methods for MLNs are to be investigated, which allow incremental learning, when new examples come in one-by-one.+
  
 Requirements: Requirements:
-  * Experience in Machine Learning. +  * Good programming skills in C/C++ 
-  * Experience with statistical relational learning (e.g. MLNs) is helpful. +  * Basic physics/rendering engine knowledge 
-  * Good programming skills in Python. +  * Basic ROS knowledge 
- +  * UE4 basic tutorials

-==HiWi-Position: Knowledge Representation & Language Understanding for Intelligent Robots== +
- +
-In the context of the European research project RoboHow.Cog [1,2] we +
-are investigating methods for combining multimodal sources of knowledge (e.g. video, natural-language recipes or computer games), in order to enable mobile robots to autonomously acquire new high level skills like cooking meals or straightening up rooms.   +
- +
-The Institute for Artificial Intelligence is hiring a student researcher for the +
-development and the integration of probabilistic methods in AI, which enable intelligent robots to understand, interpret and execute natural-language instructions from recipes from the World Wide Web. +
- +
-This HiWi-Position can serve as a starting point for future Bachelor's, Master's or Diploma Theses. +
- +
-Tasks: +
-  * Implementation of an interface to the Robot Operating System (ROS). +
-  * Linkage of the knowledge base to the executive of the robot. +
-  * Support for the scientific staff in extending and integrating components onto the robot platform PR2. +
- +
-Requirements: +
-  * Studies in Computer Science (Bachelor's, Master's or Diploma) +
-  * Basic skills in Artificial Intelligence +
-  * Optional: basic skills in Probability Theory +
-  * Optional: basic skills in Machine Learning +
-  * Good programming skills in Python and Java +
