About the Project
Title: Intelligent Systems PhD Scholarship
Project Description:
The Institute of Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI) currently offers PhD scholarship to a student who is ready to enrol on a full-time basis for conducting cutting-edge research into Intelligent Systems at Deakin University.
About Deakin University and IISRI
Deakin University is ranked in the top 2% of universities worldwide, and consistently ranks number one on student satisfaction and employment. Deakin offers a personalised experience, enhanced by innovative digital engagement. We lead by creating opportunities to live and work in a connected, evolving world.
The Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI) contributes to the research and development (R&D) of robotics, haptics, and human machine interfaces. IISRI has more than 80 researchers who use their R&D to provide practical solutions to real world problems and develop commercial-ready products and services. As a result, IISRI has been successful in the delivery of numerous industry-based research projects with major national and international organisations.
IISRI has the largest number of haptic devices in the Southern Hemiphere for research and development. Complimented by the worlds most advanced fleet of haptically enabled robots (Kuku, ABB based, UR5, UR10) and autonomous mobile platforms. In addition, IISRI has delivered several major haptically enabled teleoperatve system and autonomous robots to major automotive companies, and Department of Defence.
Our research collaboration reaches world class Universities, Harvard, MIT, Standford, Imperial College, Trinity, IIT (India) and Cambridge University
