The two Ph.D. positions will be part of the European Horizon2020 project MAGNIFY. The goal of MAGNIFY is to design and realize a new generation of artificial muscles for robotic systems, characterized by high force-to-weight ratio, high flexibility, fast reacting properties, and intrinsic rigidity tuning. The project will use artificial molecular machines, organized in polymer electrospun nanofibers and controlled by electrical stimuli, to realize an artificial macroscopic muscle.<\/p>\n<p>The Robotics group develops systems that are intended to physically interact with uncertain dynamic environments and to cooperate with humans. The group\u2019s main focus is the development of novel actuation systems, which are the key enabling components for motion generation. The work is accomplished by developing unique mechanical designs and intelligent control architectures. Current research projects focus on bio-inspired soft robots and lower-limb prosthetic devices. The Robotics lab is equipped with rapid prototyping facilities (3D printer and laser cutter), and instruments for electromechanical characterization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The two Ph.D. positions focus on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the design and fabrication of the different stages of the artificial muscle;<\/li>\n<li>electromechanical characterization of the artificial muscle;<\/li>\n<li>development of (analytical, numerical, predictive) models;<\/li>\n<li>development of (non-linear) control techniques;<\/li>\n<li>experimental validation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>ELIGIBILITY<\/h1>\n<p>The successful candidates should have:<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>a Master\u2019s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, applied physics, or in closely related disciplines;<\/li>\n<li>excellent skills and practical experience in one or more of the following research areas: (soft) robotics, systems and control, MEMs, material science, nanofabrication and electrospinning;<\/li>\n<li>strong academic credentials;<\/li>\n<li>written and spoken English proficiency;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>BENEFITS<\/h1>\n<p>The University of Groningen offers a salary of\u00a0<strong>2,222 EUR gross per month<\/strong>\u00a0in the first year, up to a maximum of\u00a0<strong>2,840 EUR gross per month<\/strong>\u00a0in the fourth and final year (in accordance with the Collective Labour<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/univerwork.com\/phd-positions-in-soft-robotics-at-university-of-groningen-2018\">#PHD #POSITIONS IN #SOFT #ROBOTICS AT #UNIVERSITY OF #GRONINGEN 2018<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/jobsintern.blogspot.com\/2018\/06\/phd-positions-in-soft-robotics-at.html\">#PHD #POSITIONS IN #SOFT #ROBOTICS AT #UNIVERSITY OF #GRONINGEN 2018<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 JOBS\/INTERSHIPS\/TRAININGS\u00a0\u2013 UNIVERWORK.COM Follow @PettisFight \u00a0 Deadline:\u00a015 July 2018Open to:\u00a0international studentsSalary:\u00a02,222 EUR gross per month in the first year DESCRIPTION The\u00a0Robotics group\u00a0at the\u00a0University of Groningenhas two vacancies for doctoral students on soft robotics.
