IAI structures its research acitivites into three threads conducted by the following research groups:

• Intelligent Autonomous Systems which investigates AI-based control methods for robotic agents, performing human-scale everyday manipulation-tasks.
• Wearable Intelligence which develops ambient and pervasive computing systems that assist humans at home, at work and during leisure activities.
• Intelligent Systems in Production & Logistics is involved with large-scale distributed autonomous logistics and production networks.

IAI coordinates and participates in several EU projects in particular within the context of the FP7 Challenge 2 “Cognitive Systems”
