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 run strongly project-based teaching. 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) at the University of Bremen as well as the high-profile area Mind, Media and Machines (MMM).

EASE Fall School 2022 was a success
We are delighted to look back at another EASE Fall School to close the academic year. From September 19 – 23, we welcomed early stage researchers at our Collaborative Research Center EASE. The EASE Fall School aims at bringing together the young research community to advance research progress in the implementation of cognition-enabled everyday activity robotics.
Participants received comprehensive insights into the research methods and technologies that enable robots to accomplish tasks for and together with humans. Each day started with a lecture given by renowned researchers and industrial partners. In the afternoons, participants were able to apply their newly gained theoretical knowledge in hands-on sessions during which they ran their own experiments in a range of robot manipulation scenarios. The accompanying social program included joint culinary and cultural activities such as excursions to the sights of Bremen.
Bremer Transferzentrum Künstliche Intelligenz eröffnet / Opening of transfer centre for Artificial Intelligence Bremen
Find a report in German from the opening of the “Transferzentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz” on 7 July 2022 in the link below.
The centre promotes transfer of AI-technologies into the industry and bringing AI-players in Bremen together. At the event the Institute for Artificial Intelligence was present as a partner of the centre. At our booth, visitors were able to experience VR, learn about our research, gain an overview over our projects and get an impression of the technology our emerged startup Ubica GmbH has to offer.

Technology Transfer Award for Ubica Robotics - Startup
We are celebrating an important award with the robotics start-up Ubica Robotics, which was spun off from the IAI. Together with the University of Bremen and dmTech GmbH, Ubica Robotics has received the euRobotics Technology Transfer Award 2022 at the European Robotics Forum in Rotterdam, which took place last week from June 28 to 30 in Rotterdam.
The euRobotics Technology Transfer Award, now in its 18th edition, honors outstanding examples of technology transfer in robotics and automation resulting from collaboration between research and industry.
Teaching
A detailed description of most courses can be found in the Online Module Handbook of the FB3: http://apophis.informatik.uni-bremen.de:3001/.
