Fully Funded PhD Studentships in Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction at Imperial College London Imperial College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in human-swarm interaction , robotics , artificial intelligence , computer vision , and human-computer interaction . This project, supervised by Dr Mohammad Soorati in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences , focuses on how humans can communicate high-level intent to robot swarms and how swarms can explain their behaviour, decisions, intentions, and emerging problems in intuitive ways. The research may explore graphical interfaces, natur...

PhD opportunity: Multi-agent reinforcement learning for safe navigation of multiple robots at the University of Southampton (Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences). This project focuses on robotics , machine learning , artificial intelligence , human-robot interaction , and multi-agent reinforcement learning . The research asks how robot swarms can coordinate collective goals while adapting to human comfort, preferences, social expectations, and trust in shared spaces such as homes, workp...
