About Us
The Center for Bionic Intelligence Tübingen Stuttgart (BITS) will
support to establish a radically new approach for the tight integration of intelligent technological systems with humans. At its culmination, we will be able to overcome technical limitations of current treatment and support systems for neural diseases, compensating for deficiencies and restoring intelligent bodily functions. This will markedly reduce the ever-increasing societal burden of psychiatric and neurological diseases.
Human embodied intelligence results from the smart interplay between neural information processing and physical properties of the body, both tightly integrated in a closed-loop fashion. Such an interplay must be extended to systems that integrate humans with technology.
The BITS Center uniquely combines the complementary excellence of the Universities of Stuttgart and Tübingen and the associated Max Planck Institutes for Intelligent Systems and Biological Cybernetics as ideal setting and fits perfectly in the regional academic-industrial ecosystem.

Human-Machine Interaction on a New Level
At the University of Stuttgart, Prof. Andreas Bulling explores how intelligent assistance systems can effectively collaborate with us. His research focuses on developing systems that are designed to provide people with optimal support in fields such as medical diagnostics, caregiving, or as versatile “everyday helpers.” In the future, these systems may even be capable of empathizing with others. For his expertise in the field of human-machine interaction and his dedication to fostering young scientific talent, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has appointed Bulling as a Henriette Herz Scout.

BITS @ Science Notes
As part of the 3rd Stuttgart Science Festival, Prof. Sabine Ludwigs and Prof. David Remy from the Centre for Bionic Intelligence Tübingen Stuttgart presented their research on intelligent polymers and legged locomotion to a fully packed Gustav-Siegle-Haus on Friday 18.10.2024.
The event, part of an evening curated by Science Notes (https://sciencenotes.de/), offered a dynamic platform where each researcher had just 15 minutes to dive into their work. Complementing the science with art, renowned DJ, producer, and biologist Dominik Eulberg provided a mesmerizing soundtrack and visual experience, blending music with the evening’s scientific theme of “Bionics”.
