-The objective of the project is to implement var- +In this thesis, the goal is to make a robotic system learn new objects automatically. 
-ious human-like grasping approaches in a game developed using [[https://www.unrealengine.com/|Unreal Engine]]. +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 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.+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.
  
-In order to improve the ease of manipulating objects the user should 
-be able to switch during runtime the type of grasp (pinch, power 
-grasp, precision grip etc.) he/she would like to use. 
-   
-Requirements:  
-  * Good programming skills in C++ 
-  * Good knowledge of the Unreal Engine API.  
-  * Experience with skeletal control / animations / 3D models in Unreal Engine. 
-  * Familiar with version-control systems (git) 
-  * Able to work independently with minimal supervision 
  
 +Requirements:
 +  * Knowledge about sensor data processing
 +  * Interest in model construction from sensory data
 +  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework

 +== 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.
  
 +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.
  
-== OpenEASE rendering in Unreal Engine (BA/MA Thesis, Student Job / HiWi)==+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.
