Novel Multi-axis MEMs Force Sensors for Robotic Applications
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Robots heavily rely on sensors to interact with their environment. Among these sensors, multi-axis force sensors play a pivotal role in enabling robots to safely interact with objects. 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.

Autonomous Robots for Manipulating Hazardous Substances
** This opportunity is open to UK students only **. If you are interested in robotics, and have strong programming and software engineering skills, this could be a project for you. Read more
Simulation with Humans in the Loop of an Autonomous UAV for Emergency Relief
** This opportunity is open to UK students only **. Motivation and problem statement. Mobile and autonomous robots have the perspective of relieving humans from dull, dangerous, and dirty activities. Read more
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

** This opportunity is open to UK students only **. Motivation and problem statement. Mobile and autonomous robots have the perspective of relieving humans from dull, dangerous, and dirty activities. Read more
Dexterous Manipulation for Hybrid Robots Using Reinforcement Learning
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Hybrid Robotic manipulators combine soft and rigid components that allow them to be safer and more reliable than their rigid counterparts during their interactions with the world. Read more
Intelligent Proprioceptive Anthropomorphic Robotic Hands
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Robotic hands and grippers are pivotal in robotic handling or interactions with objects, and similarly, a robot can intelligently manipulate an object. Read more
Invasive Lung Ventilation empowered by Soft Robotic Implantable Actuators [ILV-robot]
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
Lung diaphragm is an integral part of respiratory system, which plays a pivotal role in the initiating and maintaining breathing cycle. Read more
Robust Model-based Predictive Control for Hybrid Robotic Arms
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In contrast to conventional robots, hybrid (soft-rigid) robots offer enhanced interaction safety alongside sensorised, repeatable performance. Read more
Precision agriculture by robotic data collection and knowledge based analysis
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Robots are becoming increasingly essential in the practice of precision agriculture due to labor shortages, higher productivity needs, and the demand for sustainable farming practices. Read more
Autonomous Robotic Management of York Institute for Safe Autonomy Solar Farm
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
With the commissioning of a new solar power farm for research at York's institute for Safe Autonomy, we are looking for enthusiastic students with an interest in creating robots that can move between solar panel arrays to autonomously perform cleaning, inspection, mapping, and site maintenance tasks. Read more
Automated probabilistic programming and learning methods for robotic behaviours in an uncertain and changing world
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Nearly all programmable computing systems are based by design on exact logic, under the assumption of a "perfect" mathematical world. Read more
Hybrid Articulated Robotic Systems for Safe Human-Robot Collaboration
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Articulated joints make up much of the conventional robotic systems, however, the rigidity of these systems despite artificially enhanced safety through algorithms remains a safety concern owing to critical algorithmic limitations and failures. Read more
