The International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) brings together the MPI for Intelligent Systems with the University of Stuttgart and the University of Tübingen to form a highly visible and unique graduate school of internationally recognized faculty, working at the leading edge of the field. This program is a key element of Baden-Württemberg’s Cyber Valley initiative to accelerate basic research and commercial development in artificial intelligence. We investigate the following fields: Computational Cognitive Science Computer Graphics Computer Vision Control Systems Haptics Human-Computer Interaction Machine Learning Micro- and Nano-Robotics Perceptual Inference Robotics
