PhD Scholarship: Intelligent Design and Control of Snake Robot for Fusion Power Plant Inspection
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 develop an extra-long compliant snake robot capable of self-localisation for inspection in fusion power plants.
About the Project
The successful candidate will be part of a research team focused on developing innovative robotic solutions for challenging environments. The project involves the design, manufacture, and testing of an extra-long compliant snake robot for inspection in fusion power plants.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct a literature review of robots for working in confined spaces and their localisation strategies.
- Design and manufacture an extra-long compliant snake robot for reaching deep inside confined spaces, such as pipes and vessels.
- Develop kinematics, static, and dynamic models of the snake robot.
- Localise the snake robot using various sensory feedback, including vision and Fibre Bragg sensors.
- Demonstrate the developed snake robot and its navigation and localisation strategies.
Requirements
- First or upper second-class degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical, Computer Science, or a 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).
- Driven, professional, and self-dependent work attitude.
- Experience working within the industry will be an advantage.
- Ability to produce high-quality presentations and written reports.
Funding and Eligibility
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.
