Recruitment for these positions is now at an advanced stage. Whilst exceptional candidates are welcome to contact us, we cannot guarantee all new applications will be considered.
(This is an advert for PhD positions. We also have an advert for postdoc positions on the same project.)
We are looking for two PhD students to work on topics connected with the new FP7-funded project STRANDS ”Spatio-Temporal Representations and Activities for Cognitive Control in Long-Term Scenarios”. STRANDS will develop new technologies to allow mobile robots to acquire and use semantic maps of indoor spaces that capture not just spatial information (walls, doors etc.), but also the spatio-temporal structure of the dynamics which change such spaces (e.g. human activities with objects). To do this, these robots must be able learn and operate reliably in long-term deployments (from weeks to months of autonomous activity). Our robots will be tested over long-term operation in real-world care and building security applications.

We’re currently advertising a PhD studentship in “Flexible robotic control via co-operation between an operator and an AI based control system”.
The project is funded for up to 4 years and is an industrial collaboration with DSTL (Defence Science and Technology Laboratories). Applicants must be EU citizens. The project would suit an Engineering / Computer Science graduate with an interest in Robotics and Human Factors or a Psychology graduate who is also a strong programmer with experience in robotics.
