Robotics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 193 Robotics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Autonomous Sensor Design and Verification
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Sensing is essential for machines to interact intelligently and safely with the external environment, much like humans do[1, 2]. Human tactile sensing, for instance, allows us to handle a variety of objects, from delicate berries to heavy payloads – by adapting our touch and pressure accordingly. Read more
Advanced Proprioception for Robotic Legs
Humans are complex mechanical systems of interconnected bodies with a high degree of freedom (DOF). Our inner structures/bodies have naturally evolved with advanced proprioception and control, enabling us to perform a wide range of actions/movements, such as running, walking, sitting, and jumping.

Conjugated polymer nanoparticles for fluorescence-guided intraoperative tumour visualization
Every year there are 900,000 new cases of head and neck cancer (HNC) worldwide. Unfortunately, the number of people being diagnosed and dying of this disease in Liverpool is significantly higher than the rest of England, and in some deprived areas, higher than parts of India and South Africa.
