+== 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.

+== 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++)

-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.
+== 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.

-grasp, precision grip etc.) he/she would like to use.
+  * Creation of specific simulation aspects in Unreal Engine 4. For example the development of interactable objects.
 Requirements:
-  * Good programming skills in C++
+  * Knowledge of 3D-Modelling tools. Blender would be highly preferred.
-  * Good knowledge of the Unreal Engine API.
+  * Experience in Game Engine development. Ideally Unreal Engine 4 and C++.
