PhD Studentship: Developing Reliable Software for Autonomous Robots

The University of Manchester

Qualification Type: PhD
Location: Manchester
Funding for: UK Students
Funding amount: £18,622
Hours: Full Time
Placed On: 12th September 2023
Closes: 11th December 2023
 

This 3.5 year project is fully funded; tuition fees and a stipend set at the UKRI rate (£18,622 for 23-24), the funding is provided by the Department of Computer Science.

Autonomous robotics are desirable in hazardous environments such as nuclear decommissioning and space exploration. But before we can deploy autonomous robots we need a fundamental change to the way that these autonomous systems are verified and assessed. This change includes support for verification using multiple techniques for distinct system components. 

This PhD project will seek to develop new and improve existing methods for verifying autonomous robotic systems. It will also examine how results from these distinct methods can be combined to provide an argument for whole system verification. The ideal candidate will possess some knowledge of Formal Methods and Algebraic Specification. 

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a stimulating and challenging environment and will be expected to publish high-quality research papers in leading journals and conferences. They will also have the opportunity to participate in international collaborations and attend conferences and workshops to present their research.
