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.

News
IAI-Head Professor Michael Beetz awarded prestigious ERC Advanced Grant
We are happy to share the success of the head of our Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Professor Michael Beetz, who has been awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for his scientific work.
The ERC Advanced Grant recognises Michael Beetz as an outstanding leader with a track record of ground-breaking research achievements his field. The Grant is a special award intended to enable research work that comes with increased risks but also great promises for tackling societal challenges.
The IAI at the European Robotics Forum 2023
As a member of the euROBIN project, the IAI had the chance to connect with the European robotics community at this year's European Robotics Forum (ERF).
Lab Opening Event
On October 5th and 6th, about 150 participants from science and industry took the opportunity to exchange ideas and gain insights into the new laboratories at our Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI).
The event marked the official opening of the “Imitation Learning Lab” and the “Robotics Apartment” on the premises of the Bremen Technical Academy (TAB). The attendees were welcomed by Dr. Claudia Schilling, Bremen's Senator for Science and Ports, Prof. Dr. Kerstin Schill, Director of the Institute for Cognitive Neuroinformatics at the University of Bremen, Dr. Mandy Boehnke, Vice President of the University of Bremen and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Sager, Rector of the University of Bielefeld.
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.
