(University of Manchester - University of Tokyo Dual Award) Computational evolutionary biomechanics of bipedal/quadrupedal locomotion in early hominids

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

The transition to habitual upright walking is one of the defining features of the human (as opposed to the chimpanzee) lineage and understanding its evolution is therefore of extreme interest to palaeoanthropologists. Read more

Supervisors: Prof W Sellers, Prof N Ogihara

Locomotion and navigation strategies for quadrupedal robots

Edinburgh Napier University School of Computing, Engineering & the Built Environment

Robotic systems can be used in remote or hazardous environments to perform tasks that would be harmful for human beings. Several modes of locomotion are available, but the majority of surface-based robots use either wheels or legs. Read more

Supervisors: Dr BD Davison, Dr LL La Spada

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Implementing a new locomotion controller for robots with wheels and legs

University of York School of Physics, Engineering and Technology

In most robot applications robots are entirely built with one method of locomotion either wheels or joints. However, for the most complex environments, more than one method of locomotion is required for a robot to transverse that environment. Read more

Passive propulsion in vortex wakes

University of Southampton Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

Supervisory Team. Melike Kurt, Nicholas Townsend, and Gabriel Weymouth. Project description. Dead fish can generate propulsion force in the wake of a cylinder and whales can save energy by following large ship wakes. Read more

Fur and Feathers: colour, structure and flow control

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

The objective in this exciting cross-disciplinary project is to investigate the potential of a bio-inspired coating of flexible devices to passively modify energetic modes of an unsteady crossflow and to assess, for the first time, the role of colour in determining mechanical properties. Read more

Development of a new muscle mechanics model - mechanics of lower limb muscles during gait

University of Birmingham School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences

The goal of this project is to build a new model of muscle contraction called the Active Spring Muscle Model (ASMM) and to verify the model in human gait mechanics. Read more
