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.

News
Stand at the Automatica
Our team was present at the Automatica to collected data from random participants in virtual reality scenarios. The more data we collect, the more variations on the executed tasks we can analyze!
Three tasks were investigated:
- doing the dishes (Kitchen)
- setting the table (Dinning room)
- vacuum cleaning (Living room)
Thank you to more than 200 participants!
Talk by Moritz Tenorth
On Tuesday, 29th May 2018, former colleague Moritz Tenorth from magazino visited and gave a talk.
ABSTRACT
In his talk, Moritz talked about some of the recent developments at the Munich-based startup Magazino. Magazino develops and builds perception-controlled, mobile robots for intralogistics. With Magazinos technology individual objects can be identified on the shelf and localized via 2D and 3D cameras, securely grasped and finally placed precisely at their destination. Moritz also talked about some of his personal lessons learned during his transition from an academic to a startup working environment.
CV:
Dr. Moritz Tenorth is currently the CTO of the Munich-based robotics startup Magazino. Before joining Magazino in 2015, we was working as a Post-Doc in the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bremen. During his PhD at TU Munich, he investigated knowledge representation and processing technology for robotics, and developed the KnowRob framework.
ICRA 2018
We are happy to announce that the talk held by our team member Asil Kaan Bozcuoglu , whose paper “The Exchange of Knowledge Using Cloud Robotics” ( Asil Kaan Bozcuoğlu, Gayane Kazhoyan, Yuki Furuta, Simon Stelter, Michael Beetz, Kei Okada and Masayuki Inaba) was finalist for the IEEE ICRA Best Paper Award in Cognitive Robotics and for the IEEE ICRA Best Paper Award in Service Robotics. The EASE Workshop at the ICRA 2018 was a great success too!
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.
