-=== A friendly competition in preparation for the RoboCup@Home  ===+===== Working at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) =====
  
-Last week, we hosted a friendly competition for the first time in the rooms of the new Robotics Apartment at our Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI): The [[https://ai.uni-bremen.de/robocupsuturo23|SutuRoboCup]] pitted the University of Bielefeld's TIAGo ([[https://pal-robotics.com/robots/tiago/|PAL robotics]]) robot against the IAI's HSR ( [[https://mag.toyota.co.uk/toyota-human-support-robot/|Human Support Robot - Toyota]]) robot in a friendly head-to-head match in preparation for the RoboCup@Home competition in July.+**If you want to help shape the future world with cutting-edge AI-based robotics, you have come to the right place.**

-The SutuRoboCup is an outgrowth of the SUTURO student project, which computer science students at the University of Bremen can take as part of their Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. The three-day event, a mock-up of the World Cup, gave the teams from Bielefeld and Bremen the opportunity to test their robots under competitive conditions, to get to know each other and exchange ideas.+**[[jobs:|Here]], you can find our current open positions.**
  
-The University of Bielefeld's TIAGo robot competed against the IAI's HSR robot in four challenges within the Houshold Robotics (“at home”) category: Cleaning the table, Serving breakfast, Storing groceries and General Purpose Service Robotics (GPSR).+===== The IAI as an employer =====
  
-<carousel infinite=true&slidesToShow=1&slidesToScroll=1&adaptiveHeight=false> +We are committed to conducting research in AI and robotics that has a positive impact on our world. In the spirit of Open Science, we make our research data and software openly accessible and usable, so that all interested researchers worldwide can work with them.

-Both teams followed different approaches. The Bremen team focused on one challenge, whereas the Bielefeld team tried to solve several challenges at the same time and came up with a good approach for most of them.+Located in the Technology Park in close proximity to the University of Bremen, we host various events and professional trainings that provide ample of opportunities for networking and collaboration with both academia and industry.
  
-The HSR robot from Bremen emerged as the winner of the SutuRoboCup after scoring points in the "serving breakfast" challenge, in which the robot managed to pick two items from two different shelfs and place them on the breakfast table.  However, both robots only partially completed most of the challenges in the competition, since both teams have just started their work. This  made for some entertaining scenes and was also eagerly commented on in the livestream accompanying the event.  +We offer flexible working time models and options for remote working.  
-Examples of these entertaining moments, which occurred at many points, included the HSR robot moving towards the window to grab objects reflected in its glass, or the TIAGo robot repeatedly announcing its entry into a room with a spoken "knock knock".+===== Initiative applications ===== 
 +Interested in working with us, but not seeing yourself in our open positions? An initiative application is always welcome with us!
  
-All in all, the students were able to develop a good idea of the real RoboCup and how difficult it is for the robots to have to find their way around in a new environment. +There are many opportunities to become part of our team. Whether as a student assistant, in an internship, for a thesis or doctorate, as a scientist or in administration - we look forward to receiving your initiative application.  
-Besides the honour of winning, the teams were also able to win trophies, with which both sides walked out of the SutuRoboCup at the end of the three days. The general playful spirit with which the two teams met is to remain with them: later, at the real RoboCup, HSR and Tiago will compete in different leagues and not be direct competitors.+== Who we are looking for == 
 +We are looking forward to receiving applications from  
 +  * Communicators   
 +We do our best work together as a team. Accordingly, we are looking for colleagues who enjoy working together and exchanging ideas with others. We require a high level of English proficiency as English is our working language. 
 +  * Creatives 
 +You bring the ideas, we provide the means to realize them. We encourage you bringing in your own perspective and offer plenty of freedom to try out and implement creative ideas. 
 +  * Open minds 
 +At the IAI, many different cultures, personal histories and values come together. It is therefore important for us to meet each other with openness, curiosity and respect.  
 +  * Learners and beginners 
 +We believe that everyone starts out once. As the next generation of research is very important to us, we specifially support early career reasearchers and offer excellent opportunities for further training.
