+ {{ :research:human_hand_cutting.png?150|}}
-In the scope of the CRC Farbige Zustände we use machine-learning techniques and novel high-troughput methods to find new materials. To present the project to the scientific community as well as to the non-scientific audience, we want to visualize its ideas and concepts in terms of interactive web applications. Your task would be to design and develop visualization tools that allow the interaction with the data of the project. You will work with Javascript/AngularJS/NodeJS and MongoDB, so it would be helpful if you already have experience in those fields. Creativity in developing new visualizations is demanded just as much as good programming skills.

+== Scene Format Conversion Tool for Robotics Simulation (MA Thesis) ==
-Contact: [[team:andrei_haidu|Andrei Haidu]]
+**Motivation:**
-== Unreal Engine Editor 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.

-Creating new 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:**
+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:
+  - 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.
+**Requirements:**
+  * A strong passion for robotics.
+  * Dedication to the chosen topic.
+  * Eager to learn.

+  * 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 twofold:
+  * 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.
 Requirements:
-  * Good C++ programming skills
+  * Knowledge about sensor data processing
-  * Familiar with the [[https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Slate/|SLATE]] framework
+  * Interest in model construction from sensory data
-  * Familiar with Unreal Engine API
+  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework
