+== Scene Format Conversion Tool for Robotics Simulation (MA Thesis) ==
-Contact: [[team:andrei_haidu|Andrei Haidu]]
+**Motivation:**
-== Unreal Engine Editor (GUI) Developer (Student Job / HiWi)==
+With robotics playing a significant role in various domains, simulation is essential for developing and testing algorithms. Multiple simulators are available, each with its own specialized format (SDF, USD, MJCF, URDF, FBX) for describing scenes. This diversity of formats makes it challenging to transfer scenarios between simulators. Therefore, a versatile parser that can convert scene descriptions between these formats is highly valuable.
- {{ :research:unreal_editor.png?200|}}
-Creating user interfaces (panel customization) for various internal plugins using the Unreal C++ framework [[https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Slate/|SLATE]].
+{{:multiformat.png?400|}}
+**Task Description:**
-Requirements:
+The objective of this project is to develop a universal parser capable of converting scene descriptions between common formats. The following key steps are involved:
-  * Good C++ programming skills
-  * Familiar with [[https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Slate/|SLATE]] framework
-  * Familiar with Unreal Engine API
-Contact: [[team:andrei_haidu|Andrei Haidu]]
+  - Create a model to represent and store the scene graph.
+  - Implement import functions for the model to handle scene descriptions in any of the supported formats.
+  - Implement export functions for the model to generate scene descriptions in any of the supported formats.
-== Integrating PR2 in the Unreal Game Engine Framework (BA/MA/HiWi)==
+**Requirements:**
- {{ :research:unreal_ros_pr2.png?100|}}
+  * A strong passion for robotics.
+  * Dedication to the chosen topic.
+  * Eager to learn.

+== Generating Comics about Everyday Experiences of a Robot (BA Thesis) ==
+Summary:
+  * Query experience data from an existing database
+  * Retrieve situations of interest
+  * Recreate the scene in a 3D environment
+  * Apply a comic shader
+  * Find good camera position for moments of interest
+  * Generate a PDF summarizing the experiences as a comic strip

+== 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.
+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.
-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.
 Requirements:
-  * Good programming skills in C/C++
+  * Knowledge about sensor data processing
-  * Basic physics/rendering engine knowledge
+  * Interest in model construction from sensory data
-  * Basic ROS knowledge
+  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework
-  * UE4 basic tutorials

-Requirements:
+== Development of Modules for Robot Perception (Student Job / HiWi) ==
-  * Good programming skills in C++
+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.
-  * Good knowledge of the Unreal Engine API.
+In this context, we are currently offering multiple Hiwi positions / student jobs for the following tasks:
-  * Experience with skeletal control / animations / 3D models in Unreal Engine.
+  * 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.
