Industrial Robots-as-a-Service: knowledge Social and Economic Implications:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD Full-time: 3 years Part-time: 6 years Start date: January 2023 A fully funded PhD studentship is available for UK students to conduct industry facing research as part of a collaborative PhD programme between Loughborough University and theManufacturing Technology Centre(MTC). The candidate will be work both at the MTC and the Intelligent Automation Centre(IAC) in Loughborough. This will ensure that the candidate will build a highly sought-after portfolio of academic and industrial expertise in social and economic modelling, simulation, robotics, and servitisation. Close links with key industrial partners will enable the candidate to build a strong network of contacts in parallel to their research. The emergence of ever more skilled robots is expected to significantly increase labour productivity and penetrate areas which are currently reserved for human labour eventually becoming more like a service rather than an investment. This will have a significant transformative impact on the social and economic demographics in the UK and beyond. It is necessary to understand impact of Robots-as-a-Service to inform responsible innovation. This project will create social and economic models to study and analyse the consequences of injecting ever more skilled robots into the economy. This is highly timely and will inform the discourse of how emerging new robotic and autonomous systems will affect people's lives and right to work in the mid to long-term future. managerS Primary manager:Dr Niels Lohse Secondary manager:Professor Michael Henshaw FEES AND FUNDING UK FEE Full-time degree per annum.
