Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time
PhD Researcher in Miniaturized Robotics

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD researcher to join our team at the University of Nottingham. The successful candidate will be part of a collaborative project with the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) to develop a novel miniaturized robotic end-effector for welding and repairing tasks in confined and challenging spaces.

About the Project

The project aims to design, manufacture, and test a miniaturized robotic end-effector that can perform welding and repairing tasks in confined spaces. The successful candidate will work closely with industrial partners to develop precision mechatronics systems and algorithms, and will have the opportunity to work on a novel mechatronics system with strong links to industrial applications.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop a miniaturized robotic end-effector for welding and repairing tasks in confined spaces
  • Develop precision mechatronics systems and algorithms for the end-effector
  • Collaborate with industrial partners to integrate the end-effector with existing systems
  • Conduct experiments and testing to validate the performance of the end-effector
Requirements
  • First or upper second class degree in Mechatronics/Robotics/Mechanical/Computer Science or related scientific discipline
  • First-rate 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)
Funding and Eligibility

The scholarship on offer comprises a tax-free EPSRC Stipend Level (£18,622 a year), tuition fees paid, and a generous study package. Eligibility: Only UK Higher Education "Home Fee" status applicants and EU residents satisfying the three-year residency requirement are eligible.
