University of Nottingham PhD Scholarship

PhD scholarship opportunity in Advanced Robotics, Smart Sensing, Mechatronics, Control Systems, and automated manufacturing at the University of Nottingham in partnership with Rolls-Royce.

The project focuses on developing next-generation smart mechanisms and sensing systems for automated manufacturing and maintenance. Research themes include robotic end-effectors for restricted geometric workspaces, smart communication algorithms for multi-robot/end-effector coordination, and advanced tactile and sound-based sensing to improve robotic perception.

This is a strong fit for candidates with a background in robotics, mechatronics, or control systems. The scholarship covers the UK Home student fee plus a student stipend. International applicants may apply if they can cover the difference between Home and International tuition fees, and self-funded students are also encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will be based at the Rolls-Royce UTC in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology, offering an industry-linked research environment with direct collaboration opportunities and real-world engineering impact.
