Autonomous Intelligent Systems Group:

The University of Bonn has a long tradition in computer vision and robotics research and multiple outstanding groups in these areas. The Autonomous Intelligent Systems Group, headed by Sven Behnke, has developed award-winning cognitive robot systems, including domestic service robots, autonomous micro aerial vehicles, humanoid soccer robots, robots for mobile manipulation in rough terrain, bin-picking robots, and robots for intuitive human-robot interaction. Contributions include deep learning architectures and algorithms, efficient methods for RGB-D and laser-based SLAM, semantic environment perception, robot navigation, object manipulation and tool use, bipedal walking, multimodal human-robot interaction, and learning from demonstrations and own experience.
