PhD opportunities are aligned with the research interests of our academic staff and are broadly as follows: Human-robot interaction Autonomous intelligent robotics Machine learning, optimisation and data mining Knowledge representation, reasoning, and automated planning Natural Language processing and conversational agents Computer vision and graphics Intelligent interactive systems Autonomous synthetic characters Web intelligence Fault-tolerant robotics Evolutionary robotics We have state-of-the art lab facilities with a range of different robot platforms (humanoids, wheeled, and flying robots), sensors (eyetrackers, motion sensors, vision systems), and 3D printing equipment . Our research requires cross-disciplinary investigations in several areas such as machine learning, biologically inspired algorithms, psychology, computational linguistics, computational neuroscience, and cognitive science, among others. We are part of the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics (ECR) and thus members of the UK-Robotics and Autonomous Systems Network (UK-RAS). We have close ties with the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences and are part of the EPSRC Robotics and Autonomous Systems Centre for Doctoral Training (RAS-CDT). We are also part of the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA).
Programme duration A PhD programme normally lasts for 3 years as a full time student. Part-time options are available. Research Our Interaction Lab website has detailed information about its members, current and previous research projects, publications and collaboration with...
