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).

News
openEASE is finalist for "Best Cognitive Robotics Paper Award" of ICRA 2015
The advancement of cognitive capabilities and clarity of presentation lead “openEASE-A Knowledge Processing Service for Robots and Robotics/AI Researchers” to be nominated for “Best Cognitive Robotics Paper Award” at ICRA 2015.
openEASE is a web-based knowledge service for autonomous robots. It contains episodic memories of autonomous robots performing different activities: fetch and place, pizza cooking, chemlab experiments, human-robot collaboration activities and many more. openEASE exposes to humans and autonomous robots a set of semantic queries in a very powerful query language and while answering the queries it reasons over the available episodic memories.
IAI on TV
A couple of months ago, the NDR TV team producing the feature-length documentary “Norddeutschland von oben” visited our lab to talk to us about our research. Last Friday, the NRD first aired the resulting movie in its afternoon program. Our lab and the Technologiepark Bremen are covered starting around minute 55. You can watch the movie on-demand here.
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/.
If you are looking for lectures from past semesters, take a look at our Lecture archive.
Beside lectures and projects, we also offer theses and jobs for student research assistants. If you are interested, you can find more information here.
