navigation PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 48 navigation PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

SLAM for UAV navigation in GPS and vision denied environments using deep reinforcement learning.

The aim of this project is to develop an UAV system capable of providing real time navigation including 3D mapping reconstruction, path planning and obstacle avoidance in GPS and vision denied environments. Read more

Locomotion and navigation strategies for quadrupedal robots

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

Development of High-Data-Rate Quantum Gravity Sensors (with Toyota Motor Europe)

Project Description. The University of Birmingham, in partnership with Toyota Motor Europe, is offering a PhD position for developing a high-data-rate quantum gravimeter for gravity map-matching navigation and other applications. Read more

Generative navigation for autonomous robots using active inference

Simultaneous Location And Mapping (SLAM) is a strategy that allows autonomous mobile robots to navigate their environment. Sensors on board the robot detect walls and objects and the sensor data is used to construct a representation of the physical surroundings. Read more

Spatial orientation changes and their impact on driving in ageing and dementia (HORNBERGERM_U24DACFMH)

The PhD project will be supervised by Prof. Michael Hornberger (dementia neuroscientist, University of East Anglia). Please contact the supervisor at m.hornberger@uea.ac.uk for further information on the project. Read more

Low-Altitude Drone-based 3D Reconstructions for Precision Hedgerow Analysis and Biomass Estimation

The Postgraduate Research Programme MedAgriTech AI eXcellence (MATX) offers 12 PhD research scholarships to commence in 2024. Each project will include an enterprise placement of minimum 12 weeks duration. Read more

Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Image capture and multimodal AI for interactive radiology assistance (Canon Medical and University of Edinburgh)

  Research Group: CDT in Applied Photonics
The EngD is an alternative to a traditional PhD aimed at students wanting a career in industry. Students spend about 75% of their time working directly with a company in addition to receiving advanced-level training from a broad portfolio of technical and business courses. Read more

Experimental Discovery of New Ionic Conducting Materials Towards Net-Zero Technologies

Materials that allow the rapid motion of ions are essential for the new energy technologies needed to meet the challenge of net zero, such as batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers for green hydrogen. Read more

UCL SECReT: The International Training Centre for Security and Crime Research Degrees

UCL's Security Science Doctoral Research Training Centre (UCL SECReT) was founded in 2009 with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESRC) and an array of public and private sector organisations working in crime reduction security and law enforcement. Read more

Enriching Music Libraries [SELF-FUNDED STUDENTS ONLY]

  Research Group: Visual Computing
Project description. Music is an important phenomenon in human civilization, about which we understand surprisingly little. The information contained in musical scores is the central resource for musicological research, performers, composers, and librarians. Read more
