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).

Start of bachelor project SUTURO/SUTORO
This week sees the kick-off of this year's bachelor project 'sudo tidy-up-my-room' (SUTURO/SUTORO). Our entire team is very excited about this exploratory course, and we'd like to invite all interested students –registered or unregistered– to join the first plenary meeting (Plenum).
- where: TAB building, room 0.31/0.32, entrance E
- when: Friday, Oct. 18th 2013, 10:00 am
More information on the project can be found here.
IAI-coordinated EU Project RoboHow in the News
Following up on the second integration workshop of the EU FP7 project RoboHow, we held a press conference about the project on February 27th. The robot presented its skills in flipping pancakes using a constraint-based controller developed in the RoboHow project and prepared popcorn for the journalists.
In addition to articles in several German newspapers, RoboHow also appeared in the nation-wide German evening news at ZDF and in a longer report in the “buten un binnen” show at Radio Bremen. For more information on the project please visit the descriptions on our website or the pages of RoboHow.
2nd Integration Workshop of EU Project RoboHow
In mid-February, the 2nd joint integration workshop of the EU project RoboHow took place in our labs. PhD students and PostDocs from all our project partners visited us to work together to integrate their results and prepare the first review meeting.
While also focssing on software integration, the workshop also featured scientific presentations and hands-on tutorials. Furthermore, we visited the MARUM for a guided tour which all of us enjoyed very much.
The workshop was a huge success leaving all participants excited about the upcoming phases of RoboHow. We are looking forward to the next workshop which will be hosted by our project partner KTH, in Stockholm.
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.
