Autonomous robotics and vehicles studentships at University of Surrey 2023

About:

This studentship will be a cohort of 5+ peers undertaking parallel research projects on related topics. A specialized training program is in place for the cohort which includes technical skills, research skills, and personal skills. Robotics is a research topic cutting across a range of disciplines. As a result, this tight-knit group will also integrate into several of the wider peer-support networks of the University. This includes the Robotics Lab at CVSSP, the Centre for Automotive Engineering, and the Nature-Inspired Computing and Engineering group, as well as the Institute for People-Centred AI.

Projects​:

• Adaptable robot manipulation skills
• AI-based integrated chassis control for automated vehicles
• AI-based vehicle dynamics controllers and observers for off-road autonomous driving
• Eye-in-the-sky: Satellite-supported autonomous vehicles
• Robot sheepdog

Eligibility criteria:

• Open to any UK or international candidates.
• Up to 30% of our UKRI-funded studentships can be awarded to candidates paying international rate fees.
