Welcome to the Institute for Artificial Intelligence!
The Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) is directed by Prof. Michael Beetz.
As a research institute, we conduct basic scientific research in the field of cognition-enabled robotics for everyday activities.
As part of the Faculty of Computer Science, we have a project-based teaching approach. Our hands-on projects in teaching include SuTuRoProjekt: SUTURO - sudo tidy-up-my-room, IntEL4CoRo and the annual EASE Fall School.
The IAI is member of the Center for Computing and Communication Technologies (TZI) as well as the high-profile area Minds, Media and Machines (MMM) at the University of Bremen.

Lab Opening Event
On October 5th and 6th, about 150 participants from science and industry took the opportunity to exchange ideas and gain insights into the new laboratories at our Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI).
The event marked the official opening of the “Imitation Learning Lab” and the “Robotics Apartment” on the premises of the Bremen Technical Academy (TAB). The attendees were welcomed by Dr. Claudia Schilling, Bremen's Senator for Science and Ports, Prof. Dr. Kerstin Schill, Director of the Institute for Cognitive Neuroinformatics at the University of Bremen, Dr. Mandy Boehnke, Vice President of the University of Bremen and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Sager, Rector of the University of Bielefeld.
EASE Fall School 2022 was a success
We are delighted to look back at another EASE Fall School to close the academic year. From September 19 – 23, we welcomed early stage researchers at our Collaborative Research Center EASE. The EASE Fall School aims at bringing together the young research community to advance research progress in the implementation of cognition-enabled everyday activity robotics.
Participants received comprehensive insights into the research methods and technologies that enable robots to accomplish tasks for and together with humans. Each day started with a lecture given by renowned researchers and industrial partners. In the afternoons, participants were able to apply their newly gained theoretical knowledge in hands-on sessions during which they ran their own experiments in a range of robot manipulation scenarios. The accompanying social program included joint culinary and cultural activities such as excursions to the sights of Bremen.
Bremer Transferzentrum Künstliche Intelligenz eröffnet / Opening of transfer centre for Artificial Intelligence Bremen
Find a report in German from the opening of the “Transferzentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz” on 7 July 2022 in the link below.
The centre promotes transfer of AI-technologies into the industry and bringing AI-players in Bremen together. At the event the Institute for Artificial Intelligence was present as a partner of the centre. At our booth, visitors were able to experience VR, learn about our research, gain an overview over our projects and get an impression of the technology our emerged startup Ubica GmbH has to offer.
