Fully FundedEdinburgh, United Kingdomphd· Fully Funded (EPSRC CDT / UKRI AI Centre)
Project Overview
A fully funded joint PhD programme with the University of Edinburgh at the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics, focusing on dependable and deployable AI for Robotics.
Basic Information
- Host Institution: Heriot-Watt University & University of Edinburgh (Joint Programme)
- Centre: Edinburgh Centre for Robotics (ECR)
- Study Level: PhD
- Duration: 4 years
- Funding Type: Fully Funded (EPSRC CDT / UKRI AI Centre)
- Location: Edinburgh
- Official Website: https://www.edinburgh-robotics.org/
Project Overview & Significance
The Robotics and Autonomous Systems PhD programme is a prestigious, fully funded joint initiative between Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh, hosted by the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics (ECR). This 4-year programme is at the absolute forefront of global robotics research. It includes the CDT-D2AIR (UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Dependable and Deployable AI for Robotics) and the EPSRC CDT in Robotics and Autonomous Systems. The programme focuses on developing AI and robotic systems that are not only intelligent but also safe, reliable, and deployable in real-world environments. By bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and robust, field-deployed robots, the research aims to revolutionise sectors such as healthcare, offshore energy, and manufacturing. Students get access to world-class facilities, including the Robotarium, a state-of-the-art testing arena.
