-== Representing knowledge in a robot-agnostic ontology system for assistive robotics (MA Thesis) ==+== Scene Format Conversion Tool for Robotics Simulation (MA Thesis) ==
  
-The thesis will be jointly supervised by German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Munich and the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) at the University of Bremen.+**Motivation:**
  
-Summary: +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.
-  * Investigate about existing ontologies, like the Socio-physical Model of Activities (SOMA) from the University of Bremen. +
-  * Refactor an existing knowledge database (known as the Object DataBase, ODB) used by the DLR into an ontology. +
-  * Use the ontology to design tasks in the assistive robotics domain using assistive robots provided by the DLR+

-{{ :teaching:offer_2020-01_op2_wedanjustin.pdf |}}+**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: 
 + 
 +  - 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. 
 + 
 +**Requirements:** 
 + 
 +  * A strong passion for robotics. 
 +  * Dedication to the chosen topic. 
 +  * Eager to learn.

-Aufgaben: +In dieser Arbeit soll die GS1 Produktklassifikation in eine Ontologie transformiert werden. Der GS1 Produktklassifikationsstandard ist online ( https://gpc-browser.gs1.org/) einsehbar. Anschließend soll in einem Jupyter Notebook anhand eines Beispiels gezeigt werden, wie andere Ontologien mit der erstellten Taxonomie verbunden werden können.

-== 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. +Contact: [[team:michaela_kümpel|Michaela Kümpel]]
-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. 
  
 +== Nutzung von chatGPT zur Erstellung von spezifischen Wissensbasen (BA Thesis) ==
  
-Requirements: +In dieser Arbeit soll chatGPT (oder ähnliche Tools) genutzt werden, um maschinenlesbares Wissen für eine neue Aufgabe zu erstellen. Dabei sollen z.B. Umgebungsmerkmale und semantische Relationen abgefragt werden können. Die Arbeit soll geeignete prompts zur Erstellung solcher Wissensbasen erarbeiten. Die Informationen sollen anschließend per script extrahiert werden, so dass Agenten sie nutzen können. 
-  * Knowledge about sensor data processing +
-  * Interest in model construction from sensory data +
-  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework+
  
 +Die Aufgaben dazu sind:
 +  * Einarbeitung in Prompting mit chatGPT o.ä.
 +  * Einarbeitung in Web Scraping und NLP parsing
 +  * Einarbeitung in Owlready und basic entitity linking
