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.

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
Moritz Tenorth and Michael Beetz win Best Cognitive Robotics Paper Award at ICRA 2012
We are very proud to announce that Moritz Tenorth and Michael Beetz with their co-authors Alexander Perzylo and Reinhard Lafrenz won the Best Cognitive Robotics Paper Award at ICRA 2012 with the paper titled: The RoboEarth language: Representing and Exchanging Knowledge about Actions, Objects, and Environments. Congratulations!
IAS 2012
The International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems will take place in Jeju Island, Korea from June 26-29. Michael Beetz will give a plenary talk on the topic of “Robotic Agents Performing Human-Scale Everyday Manipulation Tasks - In the Knowledge Lies the Power”. In addition, we have two papers in the session on “Web-Enabled Robotics”:
- Exchange of Action-related Information among Autonomous Robots (Thursday, 10:30-10:50, Room 301)
- RoboEarth Action Recipe Execution (Thursday, 09:30-09:50, Room 301)
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.
