-=== Call for submissions: 9th workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition   ===+===== Working at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) =====
  
-The 9th workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition will be held at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence's TAB building on September 14 and 15, 2023. The goal of the AIC workshop series is to provide an international scientific forum for the discussion and presentation of theoretical and applied research developments in the areas of cognitive-inspired artificial intelligence, cognitive artificial systems, computational cognitive science and neuroscience.+We currently don't have any open positions for researchers. 
 +===== The IAI as an employer ===== 
 +If you are looking for a bachelor/master thesis or a job as a student research assistant, you may find some interesting opportunities on this page.
  
-=== Background  === 
  
-The main motivation for the AIC events lies in the fact that, historically, research in Artificial Intelligence has been based on a strong collaboration with other disciplines within the realm of the cognitive sciences.+<html><!-- 
 +== Physics-based grasping in VR with finger tracking(Student Job / HiWi) ==
  
-Many of the original founders of AI as a research discipline aimed to develop human-level AI systems by taking inspiration from the heuristics of human cognition. This goal is still pursued (albeit with different interpretations) by many researchers around the world, and is one of the main challenges for the AI community. Indeed, the collaboration between AI and Cognitive Science has produced mutual benefits over the years. +Implementing physics-based grasping models in virtual environments, 
 +using Manus VR.
  
-In AI, this partnership has led to the realization of better intelligent systems. In cognitive science, in turn, this partnership has enabled the development of cognitive models and architectures that provide a better understanding of human reasoning. +Requirements: 
 +  * Good C++ programming skills 
 +  * Familiar with skeletal animations 
 +  * Experience with simulators/physics-/game- engines 
 +  * Familiar with Unreal Engine API 
 +  * Familiar with version-control systems (git) 
 +  * Able to work independently with minimal supervision
  
-In recent years, after a period of partial fragmentation of research directions, the area of cognitively inspired artificial systems is gradually attracting renewed attention from both academia and industry, and the awareness of the need for additional research in this interdisciplinary field has gained widespread acceptance. +Contact: [[team:andrei_haidu|Andrei Haidu]]

-=== Call for submissions  === 
  
-We invite all researchers who are interested in the overall goal and the topics of interest (below) of the AIC workshop series to submit their scientific contributions to the AIC scientific journal. +<html><!-- 
-AIC is a peer-reviewed scientific venue that particularly welcome papers raising challenging questions, innovative ideas and out of the box thinking, which will hopefully promote interesting discussions at the workshop. The participation of early state researchers in particular is encouraged. Topics of interest for the AIC community include but are not limited to:+== Lisp / CRAM support assistant (HiWi) ==

 +  * 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.

 +== Development of Modules for Robot Perception (Student Job / HiWi) == 
 +In our research group, we focus on the development of modern robots that can make use of the potential of game engines. One particular research direction, is the combination of computer vision with game engines. 
 +In this context, we are currently offering multiple Hiwi positions / student jobs for the following tasks: 
 +  * Software development to create Interfaces between ROS and Unreal Engine 4 (mainly C++) 
 +  * Software development for our Robot Perception framework [[http://robosherlock.org/|RoboSherlock]] which contains many algorithms for computer vision problems (mainly C++) 
 + 
 +Requirements: 
 +  * Experience in C++. 
 +  * Basic understanding of the ROS middleware and Linux. 
 +The spoken language in this job is german or english, based on your preference.

 +== Game Engine Developer and 3D-Modelling  (Student Job / HiWi) == 
 +A recent development in the field of AI is the usage of photorealistic simulations, for example to create Digital Twins of environments like households or  [[https://iottechnews.com/news/2021/apr/13/bentley-systems-nvidia-omniverse-create-real-time-digital-twins/|factories]]. 
 +In our research group, we focus on the development of modern robots that can make use of the potential of game engines. This requires a high degree of specialized game engine plugins that can simulate certain aspects of our research. Another important task is the creation of 3d models. 
 + 
 +Therefore, we are currently offering multiple Hiwi positions / student jobs for the following tasks: 
 +  * Modelling of objects for the use in Unreal Engine 4. 
 +  * Creation of specific simulation aspects in Unreal Engine 4. For example the development of interactable objects. 
 + 
 +Requirements: 
 +  * Knowledge of 3D-Modelling tools. Blender would be highly preferred. 
 +  * Experience in Game Engine development. Ideally Unreal Engine 4 and C++. 
 + 
 +The spoken language in this job is german or english, based on your preference.
