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
NDR Radio Feature on Societal Impacts of Robots
In its scientific radio feature “Logo - Das Wissenschaftsmagazin”, broadcasted on the 5th of February, the NDR radio station addressed the question of societal impacts of autonomous robots. In the feature entitled “Helfer oder Konkurrenten?” (“Assistants or Competitors?”) Michael Beetz emphasized the novel opportunities of robots in the healthcare domain. The feature is available as an audio stream: http://www.ndr.de/info/Helfer-oder-Konkurenten,audio271770.html
RoboSherlock released
We are happy to announce that the core implementation of our perception framework, RoboSherlock, is now available as an open source project. RoboSherlock is based on the principle of unstructured information management, and offers a unified framework for integrating multiple perception experts, that hypothesize about images, annotate them and finally test and rank these annotations. For more information visit the project website at www.robosherlock.org
Google Open Source Blog Feature
After the Google Summer of Code 2015 was concluded, Google started to feature selected members of the 137 open source organizations that took part in the GSoC 2015 program on their open source blog. After having had a very positive experience during GSoC 2014, our institute offered four projects within the Summer of Code this year.
We are pleased to announce that, as the first organization, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence is featured on Google's blog to describe impressions from this year's project period. You can find the link to the full blog post here.
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.
