 =====Open researcher positions=====
-**PhD candidate (f/m/d) in the ERC Advanced Grant project FAME: Open-Ended Manipulation Task Learning with FAME (Future-oriented cognitive Action Modelling Engine)**  (salary scale TV-L 13 - 100%)
+{{blog>:jobs?3&date&footer&firstseconly&readmore}}
-With our new project FAME, we aim to lay the groundwork for robots that achieve the competence level of humans in the area of everyday manipulation tasks.
-In pursuit of this goals, FAME will investigate the hypothesis that a knowledge representation and reasoning (KR&R) framework based on explicitly represented and machine-interpretable inner-world models can enable robots to contextualize underdetermined manipulation task requests.

-With cutting-edge laboratories and data infrastructure FAME offers attractive workplaces, diverse and responsible tasks, and a wide scope of advanced training options.
-We offer three research positions for scientific qualification with the aim of obtaining a doctoral degree (salary scale TV-L 13 - 100%) at the next possible date for the period of three years.
-**Research tasks:**
-  * Interpretation and analysis of instructional videos on manipulation tasks (e.g. Wikihow videos)
-  * Modular and transparent robot plans for simple meal preparation tasks
-  * Learning and representation of, or reasoning with "intuitive theories", for simple tasks in the kitchen

+== 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.
+== Übersetzung einer globalen Produktklassifikation in eine bestehende Ontologie (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 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.
-  * 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.
+Die Aufgaben dazu sind:
+  * Einarbeitung in Web Scraping und Abfrage der Daten von GS1
+  * Einarbeitung in Owlready und Erstellen der Taxonomie
+  * Erstellung des Jupyter Notebooks mit einem Beispiel, wie andere Ontologien verbunden werden können (die Beispielontologie wird gestellt)
-Requirements:
-  * Knowledge about sensor data processing
-  * Interest in model construction from sensory data
-  * Work with KnowRob knowledge processing framework

+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.
 Die Aufgaben dazu sind:
-  * Vergleich von bestehenden Lösungen.
+  * Einarbeitung in Prompting mit chatGPT o.ä.
-  * Erweiterung einer Ontologie um Nährwertangaben.
+  * Einarbeitung in Web Scraping und NLP parsing
