The Centre for Robotics Research is seeking applications to undertake research on the design and development of a control architecture of reconfigurable/variable stiffness joints/members of innovative and safety modules and of a control system for the novel metamorphic multifingered robotic hand.
Applicants should have a proven research record in mechatronics, reconfigurable/variable mechanisms, trajectory planning and control of mechanical and robotic systems, e.g. in controlling metamorphic mechanisms and multifingered hands. Particular knowledge of the hardware interface between computers and motors and driven mechanisms is essential, and kinematics and mechanisms analysis and synthesis is favourable. Applicants should possess a PhD in robotics and control or a related discipline. This post is fixed-term for 18-months.
