Welcome
The Robotics Innovation Center (RIC) belongs to the Bremen location of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI GmbH). Headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Frank Kirchner, here scientists develop robot systems to be used for complex tasks on land, under water, in the air, and in space. The RIC closely cooperates with the Robotics Group at the University of Bremen.
Das DFKI mit Sitz in Kaiserslautern, Saarbrücken, Bremen und Niedersachsen, Laboren in Berlin und Darmstadt sowie Außenstellen in Lübeck und Trier ist auf dem Gebiet innovativer Softwaretechnologien auf der Basis von Methoden der Künstlichen Intelligenz die führende Forschungseinrichtung in Deutschland.

Robots that explore unknown waters, map the seabed, recover contaminated sites or inspect offshore wind farms - the Robotics Innovation Center in Bremen has been researching intelligent robotic systems for underwater use for many years. In addition to the scientific expertise required to develop high-performance technologies, specialist expertise and state-of-the-art technology are also required to ensure the safety and successful completion of underwater tests. For this reason, DFKI, with the support of the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) and the Employers' Liability Insurance Association for Energy, Textiles, Electrical and Media Products (BG ETEM), has now founded a salvage diver group at the Bremen site. The video shows the range of tasks performed by the DFKI rescue diver group. Contact: diving(at)dfki.de

The DFKI project Romatris was involved as a participant in the Bremerhaven disaster control exercise (scenario - storm surge) on June 15, 2024 with its KRIS robot system. The system is being developed together with the THW and is intended to supplement or improve logistical processes in acute damage situations. The system follows the leading persons on hand signals and can independently drive learned routes at the simple push of a button in order to supplement logistical chains and to relieve the THW emergency services with heavy material in rough terrain.
