Program Overview
On our Robotics and Autonomous Systems PhD programme you’ll study, design and build novel solutions and behaviours for robots and, in general, autonomous systems.
Robotics is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering and science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
Robots must interact with people and objects, as well as challenging real-world environments. They must simulate human perception mechanisms, shared control, and natural multi-modal interfaces. Robots must also exhibit a high degree of autonomy and intelligence when performing highly complex tasks such as condition monitoring, prognostics and health management, and long-term persistent autonomy including validation and verification.
Designing and managing robotics and autonomous systems requires diverse skills from various engineering disciplines such as electronics, mechatronics, control, and signal processing together with state-of-the-art micro and nano-sensors, embedded multi-core computing and artificial intelligence. This PhD programme embraces all these disciplines and aims to train the next generation of innovators in the growing field of robotics and autonomous systems.
Our researchers also regularly collaborate with key players in industry. We host the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Thermo-Fluid Systems and the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Micro- and NanoMaterials and Technologies.
