 =====Open researcher positions=====
-====Digital Twin Knowledge Base for submarine robot inspection/manipulation====
+{{blog>:jobs?3&date&footer&firstseconly&readmore}}
-The Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) investigates methods for cognition-enabled robot control. The research is at the intersection of robotics and Artificial Intelligence and includes methods for intelligent perception, dexterous object manipulation, plan-based robot control, and knowledge representation for robots.
-As a researcher of the IAI, you actively research by applying and extending the elaborated methods and tools of the IAI (e.g., CRAM, KnowRoB, and openEASE) to the uncertainties of limited resources, computation, and sensor data of submarine robots. You develop a Digital Twin that simulates harsh continuously evolving environments and service tasks on real robots. You design a detailed representation of an environment to be inspected, including data coming from past inspections, both similar and different (e.g., transfer learning from an inspection of the interior of an installation). Your research will be especially the environment representation, semantic annotation, and sensor data fusion deal with noisy data and unreliable information in dynamic environments. You work with IAI researchers and engineers of the ROSEN Group, implementing a service for underwater pipeline inspection and maintenance.
-**Prerequisites:** You have a strong background in some of the following fields:

-  * Data structures
-  * Data Stream Representation.
-**Hiring institution:** University of Bremen
-**PhD Enrollment:** PhD position in the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at University of Bremen. The project involves collaboration with ROSEN in Bremen and UiO in Oslo.
-The PhD examination acceptance requires a “Certificate of Equivalence for Foreign Vocational Qualifications”. More information available at [[https://www.kmk.org/zab/central-office-for-foreign-education/certificate-of-equivalence.html]] and [[https://www.uni-bremen.de/fileadmin/user_upload/sites/international/Studieren_in_Bremen/AnerkennungPromotion.pdf]] . Obtaining such a certificate is not necessary for the job application, but it is required later in the recruitment process.
-**Duration of the project:** 36 months
-**Main Academic Supervisor:** Prof. Michael Beetz, contact: beetz@cs.uni-bremen.de
-**Co-supervisors:** prof. Einar Broch Johnsen (UiO, Norway), dr. Peter Kampmann (ROSEN, Germany)

+== Scene Format Conversion Tool for Robotics Simulation (MA Thesis) ==
-== App zur Generierung von Ernährungsempfehlungen (BA Thesis) ==
+**Motivation:**
-Dies ist ein Wissensrepräsentations-Thema. Basierend auf einem bestehenden Wissensgraphen mit Produktinformationen sollen weitere ernährungsspezifische Informationen wie z.B. Substitute für Rezeptzutaten oder Rezepte für spezielle Ernährungsgewohnheiten generiert werden. Diese Informationen müssen aus bestehenden web-Quellen extrahiert und mit dem Wissensgraphen verknüpft werden. Die Informationen sollen dann in einer Smartphone-App (Android) visualisiert werden. Dabei kann auf bestehenden Apps aufgebaut werden.
+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.
-Aufgaben:

-  * Wissensakquisition aus web-Quellen
-  * App Entwicklung mit der Unity game engine und/oder Flutter
-Contact: [[team:michaela_kümpel|Michaela Kümpel]]
+**Task Description:**
-== Sprachauswahl für Shopping Assistenten (BA Thesis) ==
+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:
-Weiterentwicklung eines Produktinformationssystems im Einzelhandel für Smartphones (Android) um eine Sprachauswahl. Anzeige der jeweiligen Informationen in der gewünschten Sprache.
+  - Create a model to represent and store the scene graph.
-Dabei wird auf bestehenden Apps aufgebaut.
+  - 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.
-Aufgaben:
+**Requirements:**
-  * App Entwicklung mit der Unity game engine und Flutter
-  * Erweiterung der App um eine Sprachauswahl
-  * Arbeit mit Wissensrepräsentation und Wissensgraphen für Sprachmodellierung
+  * A strong passion for robotics.
+  * Dedication to the chosen topic.
+  * Eager to learn.

-== Situational awareness in kitchen environments (MA Thesis) ==
+== Generating Comics about Everyday Experiences of a Robot (BA Thesis) ==
-This is a knowledge representation topic including knowledge graphs. The idea is so link external Web-knowledge to an existing knowledge framework in order to include situational awareness so that a robot acting in a household environment can infer what an object is used for in a given situation.
+Summary:
+  * Query experience data from an existing database
+  * Retrieve situations of interest
+  * Recreate the scene in a 3D environment
+  * Apply a comic shader
+  * Find good camera position for moments of interest
+  * Generate a PDF summarizing the experiences as a comic strip
-A result would be that a spoon next to a bowl with cereal would be used for eating while a spoon on a stove next to a pot would be used for stirring.
