The Knowledge-Based Systems Group (KBSG) conducts research in Artificial Intelligence, in particular, in the areas of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) and Cognitive Robotics.

A major focus of our work in KR&R is the study of action formalisms based on the situation calculus, including the action programming language Golog, which was originally developed at the University of Toronto. The group is also involved in developing methods for the high-level control of mobile robots, including task planning and execution monitoring. One of the application areas is production logistics, where robots need to interact with machines in the production of goods. In this context we are part of the Carologistics Team, the five-time world champion of the Robocup Logistics League competition.

Finally, within the Excellence Cluster “Internet of Production” the group is concerned with the integration of data-driven and model-based approaches in Production Engineering.
