The University of Padua in Italy is offering fully funded PhD scholarships for Chinese students interested in research on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. These opportunities are hosted by the Machine Intelligence Group (MIG), which specializes in cutting-edge research on intelligent autonomous systems, including AI and reasoning, machine perception, cognitive robotics, and algorithms for human-aware robot navigation. The group’s work advances manufacturing, assistive, and agri-food technologies, focusing on probabilistic and causal inference, multi-sensor and embedded systems, and sustainable innovation. Applicants should have a strong background in computer science, robotics, machine learning, or related fields, and hold a relevant master's degree or equivalent. The scholarship covers tuition and provides a stipend, supporting students throughout their doctoral studies. Interested candidates should review the program details and eligibility criteria on the University of Padua’s official scholarship page, prepare their application materials, and submit their application online before the deadline. For research-specific questions, candidates may contact the Machine Intelligence Group. This is an excellent opportunity for Chinese students to join a leading European research institution and contribute to advancements in AI and robotics.
