-== Generating Comics about the Everyday Experiences of a Robot (BA Thesis) ==+== Scene Format Conversion Tool for Robotics Simulation (MA Thesis) == 
 + 
 +**Motivation:** 
 + 
 +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. 
 + 
 +{{:multiformat.png?400|}} 
 + 
 +**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.

-== 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. +== Integration von common-sense anhand eines alltäglichen Beispiels (BA Thesis) ==
-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: +In dieser Arbeit soll anhand eines alltäglichen Beispiels (einem Roboter, der verschiedene Schneideaktionen ausführen können soll), common-sense Wissen in eine bestehende Wissensbasis integriert werden. Dazu soll der ATOMIC Datensatz betrachtet werden (https://allenai.org/data/atomic-2020).
-  * Develop methods to automatically infer the object class of new objectsThis 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.+
  
 +Die Aufgaben dazu sind:
 +  * Einarbeitung in Wissensrepräsentation
 +  * Einarbeitung in Owlready und entitity linking
 +  * Erstellung von Kompetenzfragen und Evaluierung der Integration
  
-Requirements: 
-  * Knowledge about sensor data processing 
-  * Interest in model construction from sensory data 
-  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework
