About this position
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran is inviting PhD researchers to join the ARM4L (Autonomous Robotic Manipulation for Logistics) Lab, starting in August 2027. The lab works on autonomous robotic manipulation and logistics-oriented robotic systems.
The advertised research spans geometric modeling and control of vehicle–manipulator systems, including the coordination of mobile platforms and manipulators. Other directions include mechatronics design of tethered UAV–UGV systems and human-in-the-loop multi-aerial robot collaborative manipulation, combining aerial robotics, ground vehicles, manipulation, control, and human–robot interaction.
PhD researchers will work in a robotics and mechatronics environment led by Assistant Professor Ramy Rashad at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. The projects are suited to students interested in robotics, autonomous systems, geometric modeling, control, programming, vehicle–manipulator integration, UAV–UGV systems, and collaborative multi-robot manipulation.
Funding details
The PhD vacancy is described as fully funded; no stipend amount or detailed breakdown of tuition and other benefits is provided.
What's required
