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.

Research

Funded projects

News

IAI's Research in IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine

We are happy to announce that our research has been featured in an article titled "Cognition-Enabled Robot Manipulation in Human Environments" by Ersen, Öztop and Sarıel in IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine. The article mainly summarizes latest developments of cognitive robotics in everyday environments with particular focus on knowledge representation, perception, planning/adaptation and learning. Our software platforms, KnowRob, RoboSherlock, and CRAM, are cited in the respective sections of the article.

We recommend everybody to take a look at the article
