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.

Talk by Elizabeth Croft, Monash University
We were delighted to welcome Prof. Elizabeth Croft in our institute yesterday. She is an expert in Human-Robot-Interaction and discussed with us several aspects of successful interaction and control methods.
Her talk was a great spotlight on research results of recent HRI experiments and provided a diverse overview of different interaction modalities.
Professor Elizabeth A. Croft is the Dean of Engineering at Monash University and Professor in the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering. She held the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada Chair for Women in Science and Engineering (BC/Yukon) from 2010-2015 and the Marshall Bauder Professorship in Engineering Economics, Business and Management Training from 2015-2017.
EASE members speaking at the International Symposium on Machine Intelligence for Future Society 2019
From the 9th until the 10th of september 2019 many leading robotics reseachers will discuss the state of the art in robotics within in the context of its integration into human society at the International Symposium on Machine Intelligence for Future Society 2019. We're happy to announce that EASE members Prof. Michael Beetz as well as Prof. Gordon Cheng will have the opportunity to be a part of the discussion and present the state of the art in their respective fields. Researchers interested in participating the event still have the chance to register for the symposium, which is held in Tokyo, Japan.
Perspectives on the Creativity of AI Systems
The Wissenschaft im Dialog initiative has launched the competition Beats & Bits about music composed by Artificial Intelligence.
IAI member Dr. Daniel Nyga contributed a blog article about different perspectives on Artifical Intelligence and creativity. The article is in German and can be found at https://beatsundbits.de/kunst-oder-kuenstlich/.
Teaching
A detailed description of most courses can be found in the Online Module Handbook of the Department.
If you are looking for lectures from past semesters, take a look at our Lecture archive.
Besides lectures and projects, we also offer thesis assignments and jobs for student research assistants. If you are interested, you can find more information here.
