We are part of the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics (ECR) giving us strong links with other universities and institutions worldwide, in particular Brazil, Japan, USA, and many countries within Europe. Our research requires cross-disciplinary investigations in several areas such as biologically inspired algorithms, natural language processing, evolutionary algorithms, multimodal interfaces, swarm intelligence, psychology, machine learning, data mining, computational neuroscience and cognitive science, among others. Much of our work is closely related to industry. For example, we develop robotic rehabilitation devices for stroke patients, new swarm robotics techniques for aerial robot surveillance, agricultural applications, and search and rescue missions, and socially intelligent consumer robots. We create intelligent robot controllers to facilitate human-robot interaction, either at work or at home. Programme duration A PhD programme normally lasts for 3 years as a full-time student. Part-time options are also available. Research Research projects Our Interaction Lab website has full details of who the members are, current and previous research projects, publications and collaboration with industry and lots more. Our Robotics Lab website also has full details about the people, projects,...
