Research Fellow in Development of Intelligent Control for a Wearable Soft Robotic System

Do you have a background in Mechatronics or Robotics?

Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

This research project will involve motion analysis leading to the designing of intelligent controls for prototypes of a new and novel form of Wearable Soft Robotic Devices to assist humans and promote independent living. You will play a lead role in the project, for example preparing detailed objectives of the modelling, control and simulation work package of the project. You will work with researchers at the University of Leeds and partner universities and with our clinical partners to fulfil the aims of this project.You will have a PhD (or be close to completion) in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g. Mechatronics, Robotics or Mechanical Engineering). With the ability to use relevant software packages for control, modelling, simulation and visualisation (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, SolidWorks, LabView, C++). You will have experience on design and fabrication of robotic assistive devices (e.g., 3D printing). You will also have a high level of experience and a proven track record of research in the field of control, mechatronics, robotics and medical devices, gained either during the course of a PhD or postdoctoral work.
