Design, development, and optimisation of a six-legged robot for hybrid walking and manipulation in challenging environments
This project aims to develop a novel six-legged walking robot with features of high stability, mobility, manipulation, and precise-machining capabilities via optimised design of the leg mechanism and leg layout platform. Read more
PhD with Rolls-Royce in Future Propulsion and Power
The Supervisor for this PhD opportunity will be confirmed in April 2023. Mrs Sharon Hayward-Fryer is the point of contact for all enquiries into this position. Read more
Fracture of Automotive Advanced High Strength Steels
Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) are increasingly used throughout the chassis of modern cars since they provide a high strength-to-weight ratio and improved crashworthiness due to greater energy absorption capabilities. Read more
