Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
AML-UCL is delighted to announce a new studentship opportunity investigating novel frameworks that support on-site robot assembly involving the collective manipulation and placement of material (using either ground based or aerial mobile robotic systems).
The construction industry is poised for widespread adoption of robotic technologies. For both on-site and off-site construction, techniques that uses a team of autonomous mobile robots to collectively work together offer substantial benefits e.g. increased productivity, building lifespan, safety etc. that have yet to be verified beyond computer simulations. Further, the challenges represented by application in outdoor environments introduce many unknowns that need to be resolved due to the dynamic nature of the tasks and surrounding context. By combining automation with high performance computing and enhanced intelligence, we aim to investigate adaptive construction processes that can produce light-weight and structurally efficient assemblages.
The PhD studentship is co-supervised by Dr Vijay M. Pawar and Robert Stuart-Smith with opportunities to work with leading SMEs.

Funding Notes
Please be aware this funding is only available to UK/EU candidates who have (a) settled status in the UK, with no restrictions on how long they can stay and (b) been 'ordinarily resident' in the UK for 3 years prior to the start of the studentship (for education purposes is fine). For more information: http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/skills/studentships/help/eligibility/
The studentship compromises of UK/EU fees level and a tax-free stipend of £16,851 per annum. In order to qualify candidates must be UK/EU passport holders or qualify for UCL home fees status.
