Socio-Technical World: Interactive Intelligent Systems

This focus of research is concerned with capabilities and mechanisms that enable agents such as humans, robots, and AI to act, communicate, and learn alone or together in complex environments. The heart of this strategic research area is the Center for Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC). While CITEC involves researchers from computer science, biology, psychology, sports science, and linguistics, the strategic research area reaches out beyond these disciplines to include health sciences, law, sociology, business administration and economics as well as philosophy with a focus on the impact of technical interactive intelligent systems on all relevant societal domains. There is close cooperation with national and international strategic partners both from industry and from the public sector (e.g. Miele, Bertelsmann, Honda, and the von Bodelschwingh Foundation).
