Overview
This position is located in the Centre for Cultural and Industrial Technologies Research, part of the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries. Research in CiTech falls mainly into two strands: the application of advanced computer-based technologies in a wide range of domains (healthcare, defence & security, education, entertainment, knowledge management, science etc.); and research into the creative technologies themselves, and their impact on society.
The project will explore AI methodologies and practical solutions which will allow robotic hands to automatically adapt to human environments and thus to enable them to autonomously perform useful manipulation tasks involved in daily living, potentially for health care and rehabilitation applications. The expected outcome is to develop AI-based control architecture to ensure robust object manipulation of multifingered robots in terms of manipulation feasibility and efficiency. The studentship is fully funded by the Engineering and Physical Scientific Research Council.
Eligibility
Applicants will have a good first degree (minimum 2.1 or equivalent) and ideally a Masters (or equivalent) in engineering, computer science, or the equivalent. As this doctorate will include a substantial level of prototyping and development, experience in some aspects of signal processing, C/C++/MATLAB based robot programming and development are highly desirable. Applications should include:
•a full CV including personal details, qualifications, educational history and, where applicable, any employment or other experience relevant to the application
•contact details for TWO referees able to comment on your academic performance
•a statement of 1,000 (words) outlining your proposed project, identifying the objectives of the research and discussing how the work will build on or challenge existing research in the field.
Application Deadline: 20 November 2009, Start date 1 February 2010. The studentship offers £13,290 plus fees for a maximum of three years. UK/EU residence eligibility conditions apply.
Enquiries: Dr Honghai Liu (Honghai.Liu@port.ac.uk) Applications please quote ref: CCI005 and send to: Bev McManus, Faculty Manager, Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries, Winston Churchill Avenue, Portsmouth PO1 2DJ (Bev.Mcmanus@port.ac.uk)
