Department of Computer Science

Are you looking for a degree programme that doesn’t just teach theory from books, but puts the knowledge you’ve learnt directly into practice through laboratory tests, demonstration experiments and project work? 

The Institute of Computer Science (IFI) supports you during your studies at the Faculty of Computer Science (I) by providing an ideal environment. For a practice-oriented Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or a dual study programme. We bridge the gap between academic excellence and direct application in state-of-the-art laboratories. Our staff at the IFI are also happy to support you should you have any questions.

Our subject areas

Our professors and staff are organized into seven subject areas. In this way, we cover a broad spectrum of basic and application-oriented areas in computer science:


Our research

Research project

RLS Therapy Assistant

The goal of this research project is to offer people with periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) the opportunity to monitor their therapy at home according to their needs and to provide them with recommendations for action. By using readily available sensors in combination with AI-based analysis of the collected data, the goal is to create a system that meets the requirements of a medical device while making the high complexity of the necessary measurement data manageable.

Detailed information about the project is available at: RLS Therapy Assistant

Contact person: Prof. Dr. Neltje Piro

Research groups

Service Robotics

The Service Robotics Research Group at Ulm University of Applied Sciences focuses on methods, algorithms, and software tools for developing service robots for everyday use. The focus here is on applied research and development. The approaches are evaluated using real robots in everyday environments. Areas of application include Industry 4.0 scenarios, intralogistics scenarios, agricultural scenarios, and household robots.

Research activities are conducted in cooperation and collaboration with industry, skilled trades, SMEs, and large-scale industry at the regional, national, and international levels within the framework of public funding programs, joint research programs, and contract research.

Detailed information about the research group and the individual projects is available at: Service Robotics
