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.

New CoAI Joint Research Center explores co-constructive artificial intelligence
We are pleased to be able to further strengthen our research collaborations with our partner universities Bielefeld and Paderborn in the “Joint Research Center on Cooperative and Cognition-enabled AI” (CoAI).
The Center will investigate how artificial intelligence systems that perceive and act can learn to understand and reflect on their own behavior and the behavior of other agents to enable co-construction. Together with our research partners at the universities of Bielefeld and Paderborn, we aim to generate new potential for human-machine interaction and learning and are striving for an AI paradigm that informs and is informed by our understanding of human intelligence.
Now open: Registration for the EASE Fall School 2023
The EASE Fall School organized by the Collaborative Research Center EASE is an opportunity to gain insight into the exciting field of cognition-enabled everyday robotics.
The Fall School gives early career researchers the opportunity to learn more about AI, robotics, and the challenging field of robot manipulation. In lectures and hands-on courses, students can exchange ideas with our invited speakers and experts from the EASE Collaborative Research Center.
Talk invitation: "Inductive Biases for Robot Reinforcement Learning" by Prof. Jan Peters
On Wednesday, July 5th, we will welcome Prof. Jan Peters for his talk “Inductive Biases for Robot Reinforcement Learning” at our institute.
Jan Peters is the head of the Systems AI for Robot Learning (SAIROL) research group at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) as well as a founding member of the Hessian Center for Artificial Intelligence.
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.
