 +== Development of Modules for Robot Perception (Student Job / HiWi) == 
 +In our research group, we focus on the development of modern robots that can make use of the potential of game engines. One particular research direction, is the combination of computer vision with game engines. 
 +In this context, we are currently offering multiple Hiwi positions / student jobs for the following tasks: 
 +  * Software development to create Interfaces between ROS and Unreal Engine 4 (mainly C++) 
 +  * Software development for our Robot Perception framework [[http://robosherlock.org/|RoboSherlock]] which contains many algorithms for computer vision problems (mainly C++)

 +== Game Engine Developer and 3D-Modelling  (Student Job / HiWi) == 
 +A recent development in the field of AI is the usage of photorealistic simulations, for example to create Digital Twins of environments like households or  [[https://iottechnews.com/news/2021/apr/13/bentley-systems-nvidia-omniverse-create-real-time-digital-twins/|factories]]. 
 +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. 
 + 
 +Requirements: 
 +  * Knowledge of 3D-Modelling tools. Blender would be highly preferred. 
 +  * Experience in Game Engine development. Ideally Unreal Engine 4 and C++.
