+The thesis will be jointly supervised by German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Munich and the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) at the University of Bremen.
-{{  :teaching:gsoc:topic2_unreal.png?nolink&150|}}
+Summary:
+  * Investigate about existing ontologies, like the Socio-physical Model of Activities (SOMA) from the University of Bremen.
+  * Refactor an existing knowledge database (known as the Object DataBase, ODB) used by the DLR into an ontology.
+  * Use the ontology to design tasks in the assistive robotics domain using assistive robots provided by the DLR

-ious human-like grasping approaches in a game developed using [[https://www.unrealengine.com/|Unreal Engine]].
-The game consist of a household environment where a user has to execute various given tasks, such as cooking a dish, setting the table, cleaning the dishes etc. The interaction is done using various sensors to map the users hands onto the virtual hands in the game.

-grasp, precision grip etc.) he/she would like to use.
-Requirements:
-  * Good programming skills in C++
-  * Good knowledge of the Unreal Engine API.
-  * Experience with skeletal control / animations / 3D models in Unreal Engine.
+== Integration of novel objects into Digital Twin Knowledge Bases (MA Thesis) ==
-Contact: [[team/andrei_haidu|Andrei Haidu]]
+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.
-== Kitchen Activity Games in a Realistic Robotic Simulator (BA/MA)==
+The focus of the thesis would be two-fold:
- {{ :research:gz_env1.png?200|}}
+  * 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.
-Developing new activities and improving the current simulation framework done under the [[http://gazebosim.org/|Gazebo]] robotic simulator. Creating a custom GUI for the game, in order to launch new scenarios, save logs etc.
 Requirements:
-  * Good programming skills in C/C++
+  * Knowledge about sensor data processing
-  * Basic physics/rendering engine knowledge
+  * Interest in model construction from sensory data
-  * Gazebo simulator basic tutorials
+  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework

+== 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++)
+Requirements:
+  * Experience in C++.
+  * Basic understanding of the ROS middleware and Linux.
+The spoken language in this job is german or english, based on your preference.

+== 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++.
+The spoken language in this job is german or english, based on your preference.
