Funded PhD in Understanding and Governing the Collective Cognition of AI Agents Northumbria University in United Kingdom

Cranfield University is offering a full-time PhD examining cognitive intelligence in self-evolving multi-agent systems . The project aims to move beyond conventional embodied AI toward human-inspired cognitive reasoning, adaptive collective intelligence, and effective human–autonomy collaboration. The research will explore how autonomous agents can develop and evolve capabilities such as situational awareness, intention understanding, trust reasoning, and social intelligence. These capabilities ...

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...
