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
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.
Enabling everyone to explore real robotics – online
Save the date to get to know the IAI's interactive learning environment for everyday robotics in an online workshop as part of this year's European Robotics Week hosted by the European Robotics Forum.
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.
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.
