[jobs] Fully funded PhD Position in 3D Point-Cloud Vision for a Broccoli Harvesting Robot
School of Computer Science, University of Lincoln, UK
A PhD position is available in the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems Research (L-CAS) at the University of Lincoln UK. The position is funded for 3 years, including a bursary at the current RCUK doctoral stipend levels, tuition fees, and participation in international conferences and meetings. Please note: *this studentship is available to UK/EU candidates only*; at present we are not able to offer any studentships to international candidates.
The PhD position is offered in the area of robot vision using state-of-the-art 3D sensors for real-time detection, tracking and size estimation of crops, with a particular focus on robotic harvesting of crops such as broccoli. This PhD will build on our previous work presented at the IROS16 conference and on our [youtube channel](
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUTddzcWERs), and is part of a project funded by the UK Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) to develop a broccoli harvesting robot. The studentship offers the opportunity to engage in scientific collaboration within an ambitious team, to work with state-of-the-art robotic hardware and software, to collaborate with industry partners to develop a prototype harvesting robot, and to benefit from excellent support to produce and disseminate original research contributions.
You should have a good Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics or Physics. You must have excellent mathematical and coding skills (C++/Python, ROS), and be available to start work on the project as soon as possible.
In the first instance please contact Tom Duckett and Grzegorz Cielniak (
tduckett@lincoln.ac.uk,
gcielniak@lincoln.ac.uk), with your CV and transcript. Put 3D Point-Cloud Vision PhD application in the subject line. Applications will be assessed as they arrive and, if appropriate, we will contact applicants to discuss things further.
