+ {{ :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.

+== 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.
 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

+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.
+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.

-  * 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. 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.
-  * Good knowledge of the Unreal Engine API.
-  * Experience with skeletal control / animations / 3D models in Unreal Engine.
+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.
