PhD project at the University of Southampton on safety validation and assurance of autonomous navigation systems , with a focus on maritime autonomy and autonomous ships. The research will develop Operational Design Domain (ODD) -based methods to assess whether autonomous navigation systems can operate safely within intended conditions. It will use historical maritime data, scenario-space modelling, and simulation to generate representative, critical, rare, boundary, and degraded scenarios. The ...

PhD project at the University of Southampton on dynamic risk intelligence for safe autonomous shipping . The research focuses on how maritime autonomous surface ships can recognise when changing traffic, weather, visibility, communication, sensor performance, or system capability make continued autonomous operation unsafe. The project will investigate operational envelopes (OEs) and operational design domains (ODDs) as capability boundaries for autonomous ships and their functions. It will devel...

Peng Edward Wang at Case Western Reserve University is looking for a new PhD student to join an NSF-funded project on Anticipatory Robotics: World Model and Generative Planning for Safe, Human-Aligned Autonomy . The research focuses on robotic welding , including developing a welding-specific foundation model to predict welding state evolution under candidate task conditions and torch manipulation, and to optimize and plan safe robotic actions for consistent welding quality. The project also aim...
