PhD in Soft Robotics
Soft robots are a relatively new form of robotic system that has seen a significant increase in interest in recent years. Unlike a traditional robot, soft robots do not consist of hard, heavy, and rigid material and instead are formed from lightweight flexible materials. Read more

PhD in Polymer Chemistry: Mixed Ion and Electron Conducting Polymers
Applications are invited for a DPhil (PhD) studentship in ion and electron conductive polymers and elastomers for rechargeable batteries, soft robotics and sensors. Read more
Stepping on Lego – exploring the relationship between mechanics and sensory innervation in the sole of the foot
Tactile feedback from the foot sole is crucial for control of balance and during gait. Mechanoreceptors, responsible for translating local strain patterns into neural activity, are embedded in a mechanical environment that is unique across the body. Read more
PhD on Innovative Biomaterials for Therapeutics and Diagnostics
Prof Molly Stevens FRS FREng is looking for talented students with backgrounds in chemistry, engineering, cell biology, physics, materials science or medicine to join her highly-stimulating, multidisciplinary research lab at the Departments of Materials and Bioengineering at Imperial College London.

heterogeneous photo electrically responsive liquid crystal polymers and their smart actuators/robots
Successful completion of this PhD programme could lead to worldwide career opportunities in academia and high-tech industrial sectors like software, R&D, biomed, robotics and smart manufacturing alike. Read more
Robotics, Biomechatronics and Control
This project covers themes of bioinspiration for robotics and control but also include non-bioinspired areas that might focus on industrial or healthcare/medical applications. Read more
Building Baymax - Flexible Robot Skin: Smart sensors and algorithms
In this project, we aim to develop the next generation of household robots (not vacuum cleaners but multi-task robotic manipulators) that are safe to interact with, even for children and the elderly. Read more
The Design and Development of the Next Generation of Robots
Traditional robots are made from hard, heavy, and rigid materials and this makes them potentially highly dangerous when operating around humans. Read more
Active Wearables for Efficient Living
There has been a surge in the use of wearables for sensing health indices such as blood pressure or body stress, to replace or augmenting physical capability [1-4]. Read more
