-====Digital Twin Knowledge Base for submarine robot inspection/manipulation==== 
-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: 
-  * Digital Twins  
-  * Knowledge Representation 
-  * 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)

-== App zur Generierung von Ernährungsempfehlungen (BA Thesis) ==+== Linking saref to SOMA (BA Thesis) ==
  
-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. +Wissensrepräsentation: Semantische Integration der saref Ontology (https://ontology.tno.nl/saref/) für smart devices in SOMA (https://ease-crc.github.io/soma/). Ziel dabei ist es, dass Roboter anhand von ein paar Beispielszenarien (z.B. Zubereitung von Popcorn/ Pizza) Fehler autonom finden können (z.B. Electricity ist aus -> deswegen wird der Herd nicht warm und Popcorn poppt nicht).

-Weiterentwicklung eines Produktinformationssystems im Einzelhandel für Smartphones (Android) um eine Sprachauswahl. Anzeige der jeweiligen Informationen in der gewünschten Sprache. +In dieser Thesis soll untersucht werden, ob die Autonomie von Robotern durch Integration von Wissen zu Aufbewahrungsorten von Produkten aus dem Internet erhöht werden kann. Es gibt verschiedene websites, die Wissen dazu bereitstellen. Dieses Wissen soll von den websites abgefragt und anschließend sinnvoll ontologisiert werden. Anhand verschiedener Fragen werden die Ergebnisse evaluiert (Menge der erworbenen Informationen/ Nutzen der Information, v.a. für autonome Roboter...)

-== Situational awareness in kitchen environments (MA 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. 
- 
-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. 
- 
-requirements: 
-  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework 
-  * Work with knowledge graphs and Linked Data to create a situational awareness knowledge graph that can be linked to KnowRob 
-  * Implement reasoning about situations (based on perceived environment) and object use
