Our Institute

The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany, is a leading centre for research in computer vision, robotics, and machine learning. Our research seeks to understand mathematical principles of intelligent systems. This involves not only analyzing and modeling, but also building such systems. From our software infrastructure to our robots, scanners, camera systems, and laboratories, you will be working with the best resources available worldwide.
Our institute is located in Tübingen, a beautiful university town, with a high quality of life, in an area of outstanding natural beauty in southwestern Germany.

Our Group

The Software Workshop is a unique Central Scientific Facility at the intersection of research and software engineering. We bring together scientists and software engineers to help improve the research of the institute by translating it into high quality software products and promoting it worldwide such that it can have a larger impact and be widely used.
