 +== 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.
