The Robot Vision Group at Imperial College London's Department of
Computing is collaborating with a major UK manufacturer to advance the
vision capabilities of consumer mobile robots.
A PhD studentship (possibly two) is available with the aim to
investigate how cameras could provide a robot with the 3D perception
needed to move reliably through a space and obtain a detailed
understanding of the scene around it. This work will build on and
interact with recent promising research on real-time 3D SLAM and
reconstruction, as well as taking account of real-world constraints on
processing, cameras and robot mechanisms.
The student, located at Imperial College and supervised by Dr. Andrew
Davison, will also work closely with researchers at the company who are
developing real-world consumer robotics solutions and looking to the
future in this exciting new area.
The studentship is open to candidates of EU nationality, and provides
fees and a full bursary to support living expenses for three years.
Candidates should have excellent degree qualifications in a closely
related topic, and a demonstrable strong interest in robotics and
computer vision. To apply, please send:
- a full CV, including the names and contact details of two referees;
- and a covering letter explaining your interest in the position
by email to Dr. Andrew Davison, Department of Computing, Imperial
College London at ajd at doc.ic.ac.uk
Any enquiries can be directed to the same address.
Closing date 20th March 2012. For the right candidate the studentship
will be available to start immediately.
