PhD Research Opportunity: Development of Extra-Long Compliant Snake Robot
2 months ago
UK Atomic Energy Authority and University of Nottingham Sponsored PhD Scholarship
This PhD scholarship is a collaborative project between the University of Nottingham and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) to address key challenges in robotic deployment systems enabling repair automation.
The successful candidate will be primarily based at the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology, Department of Mechanical, Material and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering.
Project OverviewThe project focuses on the intelligent design and control of an extra-long compliant snake robot capable of self-localisation for inspection in fusion power plants.
The robot will be designed to navigate through confined spaces, such as pipes and vessels, and will be equipped with various sensory feedback systems, including vision and Fibre Bragg sensors.
Research Objectives- Design and manufacture of an extra-long compliant snake robot for reaching deep inside confined spaces.
- Development of kinematics, static and dynamic models of the snake robot.
- Localisation of the snake robot with various sensory feedback systems.
- Demonstration of the developed snake robot and its navigation and localisation strategies.
We are seeking talented candidates with:
- First or upper second-class degree in Mechatronics/Robotics/Mechanical/Computer Science or related scientific discipline.
- Outstanding analytical and numerical skills, with a well-rounded academic background.
- Demonstrated ability to develop precision Mechatronics systems and algorithms.
- Ability to develop kinematic and/or dynamic analysis of Mechanical/Robotic systems.
- Ability to implement control and kinematics with hardware-in-the–loop.
- Background with relevant packages (e.g., MATLAB, SolidWorks/Creo, ROS/OpenCV/python, LabVIEW/C languages).
- A driven, professional and self-dependent work attitude is essential.
- Experience working within the industry will be an advantage.
- The ability to produce high-quality presentations and written reports.
The scholarship on offer comprises a tax-free stipend (£19,237 a year), tuition fees paid, and a generous study package.
Only UK Higher Education "Home Fee" status applicants and EU residents satisfying the three-year residency requirement are eligible.
