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.

Lecture by Dr. Daniel Nyga (IAI/EASE) as part of the "EINFACH WISSENSWERT" exhibition for Robotics & AI
Lecture by Dr. Daniel Nyga (IAI/EASE) as part of the “EINFACH WISSENSWERT 2019” exhibition for Robotics & AI, which is located in the “House of Science” in Bremen. The lecture is embedded in the lecture in the series of lectures called “WISSEN UM 11”, where researchers give insight into state of the art research. The “House of Science” is a non-profit organisation to connect science with a broader community in and around Bremen.
Location: Haus der Wissenschaft, Sandstraße 4/5, 28195 Bremen
Date: Saturday, 9.03.19, 11:00h
Title: „Denn sie wissen, was sie tun – wie Roboter lernen“ (The talk will be held in german)
Prof. Beetz received honorary degree from the university of Örebro
The head of the IAI, Prof. Beetz, has received an honory doctorate last week from the swedish university of Örebro. In a festive ceremonial, he was awarded for his exceptional, international research and his longstanding cooperation with the university of Örebro. Besides being a second assessor for many PhD theses, Prof. Beetz also held lectures in the context of the winter school of the AASS Cognitive Robotic Systems Labs.
IAI and EASE in upcoming film “Hi, AI”
The Institute for Artificial Intelligence and EASE will appear in the upcoming documentary film “Hi, AI” by Isa Willinger. Shooting took place in 2018. The film will be released on March 7, 2019. Watch the trailer on wwww.hiai-film.de and try to spot PR2 at 1:13. The film won the 2019 Max Ophüls Prize for Best Documentary Film. Congratulations!
