About

Michael Beetz is a professor for Computer Science at the Department of Informatics of the Technische Universität Muenchen and heads the Intelligent Autonomous Systems group. From 2006 to 2011, he was vice coordinator of the German national cluster of excellence CoTeSys (Cognition for Technical Systems) where he is also co-coordinator of the research area “Knowledge and Learning”.

Michael Beetz received his diploma degree in Computer Science with distinction from the University of Kaiserslautern. He received his MSc, MPhil, and PhD degrees from Yale University in 1993, 1994, and 1996 and his Venia Legendi from the University of Bonn in 2000. Michael Beetz was a member of the steering committee of the European network of excellence in AI planning (PLANET) and coordinating the research area ``robot planning''. He is associate editor of the AI Journal. His research interests include plan-based control of robotic agents, knowledge processing and representation for robots, integrated robot learning, and cognitive perception.

  abstract =	 { The CoTeSys cluster of excellence investigates
                  cognition for technical systems such as vehicles,
                  robots, and factories. Cognitive technical systems
                  (CTS) are information processing systems equipped
                  with artificial sensors and actuators, integrated
                  and embedded into physical systems, and acting in a
                  physical world. They differ from other technical
                  systems as they perform cognitive control and have
                  cognitive capabilities. Cognitive control
                  orchestrates reflexive and habitual behavior in
                  accord with longterm intentions. Cognitive
                  capabilities such as perception, reasoning,
                  learning, and planning turn technical systems into
                  systems that ``know what they are doing''. The
                  cognitive capabilities will result in systems of
                  higher reliability, flexibility, adaptivity, and
                  better performance. They will be easier to interact
                  and cooperate with.}
