Welcome to the Institute for Artificial Intelligence!
The Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) directed by Prof. Michael Beetz is part of the Faculty of Computer Science and member of the Center for Computing and Communication Technologies (TZI) at the University of Bremen.
TwinSpace project starting in January 2026
Beginning in January 2026, we will be partners in the TwinSpace project, coordinated by Prof. Michael Beetz in collaboration with Prof. David May from the Faserinstitut Bremen (FIBRE). It is funded by the MATENA innovate! Center and the MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes.
TwinSpace will develop an intelligent robotic system for manufacturing lightweight aerospace components using Automated Fiber Placement (AFP). This will reduce production costs and increase energy efficiency. The key innovation from our institute: semantic digital twins that merge physics-based simulations with AI. They enable real-time process simulations, cutting costly trial runs and making production faster, more robust, and more sustainable.
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"
𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲! 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 “TZI Roadshow: KI Innovation made in Bremen” event in our facilities. The event kicked off with inspiring welcome speeches from the University of Bremen’s Chancellor, Frauke Meyer, and Bremen’s Senator for Environment, Climate, and Science, Kathrin Moosdorf. Both highlighted the transformative impact of AI, especially its potential to revolutionize the Bremen region.
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.
