In addition, Computer Science has a Robotics Laboratory and a 3D visualisation lab which is part of the Laboratory for Analysis, Modelling, and Visualisation.

Research is carried out in the following fields in particular: Machine Learning, Robotics, Scanning Databases, Mathematical Knowledge Management, Visualisation and Computer Graphics, Control Loops and Automation, Computer Networks and Distributed Systems and Imaging Procedures in the field of Medicine. In terms of subject, research activities often have a multi-disciplinary structure and are frequently integrated in terms of organisation in European research projects. The development of prototypes is a significant component of research activities.

As an alternative to the full-time internship, students can apply for the StartUp option.
