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
Our contribution to this year's Informatica Feminale
Women face unique challenges in computer science, a field that has been designed for men for too long, and where women are still underrepresented. Although information technology has been with us for a long time and artificial intelligence is now rapidly finding its way into more and more areas of life, there seem to be few efforts at a professional level to integrate the diverse interests of women into computer science.
Instead, computer science as a discipline still tends to be oriented towards the traditionally male-dominated worlds of experience in everyday life and work, resulting in products and applications geared predominantly towards men. As a result, computer science threatens to remain an unattractive area for women, where they do not see themselves represented.
Webinar on "The innovative Virtual Research Building (VRB) for AI-powered and cognition-enabled robotics"
๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ! We are taking part in AI Month mAI by Rise of AI (ki-deutschland.de) and cordially invite you to the upcoming event. One month. One mission. Make AI accessible.
A recap of the AI Innovation Made in Bremen event
On April 9th, we had the opportunity to host the โTZI Roadshow: KI Innovation made in Bremenโ event in our facilities. The event kicked off with inspiring welcome speeches from the University of Bremenโs Chancellor, Frauke Meyer, and Bremenโs Senator for Environment, Climate, and Science, Kathrin Moosdorf. Both highlighted the transformative impact of AI, especially its potential to revolutionize the Bremen region.
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.
