-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.
+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.
-Requirements:
+{{:multiformat.png?400|}}
-  * Good programming skills in C/C++
-  * Basic physics/rendering engine knowledge
-  * Basic ROS knowledge
-  * UE4 basic tutorials
-Contact: [[team:andrei_haidu|Andrei Haidu]]
+**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:
-== Realistic Grasping using Unreal Engine (BA/MA/HiWi) ==
+  - 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.

+== Integration of novel objects into Digital Twin Knowledge Bases (MA Thesis) ==
-== Unreal Engine Editor Developer (Student Job / HiWi)==
+In this thesis, the goal is to make a robotic system learn new objects automatically.
- {{ :research:unreal_editor.png?150|}}
+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.
-Creating new user interfaces (panel customization) for various internal plugins using the Unreal C++ framework [[https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Slate/|SLATE]].
+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

Anschließend soll in einem Jupyter Notebook anhand eines Beispiels gezeigt werden, wie andere Ontologien mit der erstellten Taxonomie verbunden werden können.
+Die Aufgaben dazu sind:
+  * Einarbeitung in Web Scraping und Abfrage der Daten von GS1
+  * Einarbeitung in Owlready und Erstellen der Taxonomie
+  * Erstellung des Jupyter Notebooks mit einem Beispiel, wie andere Ontologien verbunden werden können (die Beispielontologie wird gestellt)
-Implmenting the rendering of the [[https://data.open-ease.org/|OpenEASE]] knowledge base visualization in Unreal Engine. This will have to be packaged as a HTML5 executable and inserted into the website.
