Are you an enthusiastic and experienced researcher in applied robotic systems? Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge as part of a world class robotics team? Do you want to design and create robotic systems that will change our lives?
As part of a £7.2M project to build swarms of small inspection robots to live within pipes, you will design, analyse, fabricate and test small robots (of size less than 40mm long) designed to inspect inside active pipes. As well as supporting project partners with hardware design, you will conduct pioneering work on innovative systems integration and fabrication for robotics.
Holding both a PhD and a Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Mechatronics and Robotics, you will have experience in the design construction and testing of integrated miniature robots. You will become part of the world class infrastructure robotics group at the University of Leeds of over 20 academics, 10 post-doctoral researchers and more than 30 PhD students.
