Robotics Start-Up Ubica Wins Award for Innovative Strategies in Retail

We are celebrating an important award with the robotics start-up Ubica Robotics, which was spun out from the IAI: The ZukunftHandel Award, an initiative of the German Retail Association, honours outstanding examples of forward-thinking strategies in retail. The jury was convinced by Ubica’s digital twins as an innovative and practice-oriented solution that saves time and money in retail.

A recap of the EASE Fall School 2023

In the week from September 11 to 15, it was time for the EASE Fall School again: Experienced researchers and industry partners provided insights into cognition-enabled robotics for everyday activities at the EASE Fall School, organized by the Collaborative Research Center EASE.

The EASE Fall School is an annual intensive one-week programme aimed specifically at young researchers interested in the field of cognition-enabled robotics.
Lectures and interactive workshops provide knowledge and skills in AI and robot manipulation relevant to cognition-enabled everyday activity robotics. In addition, social and cultural activities around the academic program provide variety and offer the opportunity to get to know the city of Bremen a bit – this year, for example, on a tour of the Becks brewery and a visit to the IAI spin-off UBICA.

New CoAI Joint Research Center explores co-constructive artificial intelligence

We are pleased to be able to further strengthen our research collaborations with our partner universities Bielefeld and Paderborn in the “Joint Research Center on Cooperative and Cognition-enabled AI” (CoAI).
The Center will investigate how artificial intelligence systems that perceive and act can learn to understand and reflect on their own behavior and the behavior of other agents to enable co-construction. Together with our research partners at the universities of Bielefeld and Paderborn, we aim to generate new potential for human-machine interaction and learning and are striving for an AI paradigm that informs and is informed by our understanding of human intelligence.
