This PhD project at Delft University of Technology focuses on safe planning and decision-making for long-horizon robot autonomy under uncertainty. The work sits in the Cognitive Robotics Department and is embedded in the Reliable Robot Control Lab , within the EU-funded OPERA consortium. You will develop methods that help robots operate among people over extended time spans while balancing deliberate planning with fast, reactive behavior. The central research challenge is to make robots act safe...

Quick Questions

Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?
In many European and Asian universities yes; in some US programs applications are centralized but supervisor contact still helps.
Is GRE required for master’s or PhD applications abroad?
It depends on the country and university — many programs have made GRE optional, especially outside the US.
Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.
Are publications required to apply for PhD or postdoc positions?
Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
Will I need to pay a tuition deposit for master’s admission?
In many countries yes — especially for taught master’s programs — but funded PhD positions typically do not require deposits.
