Offer: PhD Studentship: Development of Haptic Interfaces for Medical Robotics:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD What you get You will receive a tax-free stipend at a standard rate of £16,062 per year for 3.5 years and a research training grant of £2,000 for the 3.5-year duration. In addition, your fees will be waived for 3.5 years up to the overseas rate. PhD project The scope of the project is the development of mechatronics tools to attach to robotics arms for medical robotics (e.g., Rehabilitation, Diagnostics, and Surgery)to enhance the haptic practice of the users.Therefore, you will be tasked to develop the tools, test them, and work with the other researchers in the group to integrate them into the robot arms. Medical robots aredesignedto operate around frail humans safely; weare looking for a PhD student to work on the development of mechatronics interfaces to be mounted on robot arms to execute multiple medical tasks. This researchis part of a largerprojectaiming to designmodularmedical robots that can performvariousmedical tasks and be reprogrammed directly from the medical personnel.In other words, a robot capable of performing ultrasound scans, rehabilitation, or minor procedures depending on the clinical needs. Eligibility The studentship is available to: Home, Eu andOverseas. Eligible candidates will have a 2:1 degree or equivalent in a related field.
