Are you an outstanding and ambitious engineering or computer science graduate looking for the next challenge? Do you want to work at the frontier of artificial intelligence and robotics to enable the next generation of human-centred industrial systems? We are seeking a talented PhD student to investigate Agentic AI for human–robot collaboration, focusing on how intelligent machines can understand goals, generate task plans, and work safely and effectively alongside human operators in industrial settings. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and agent-based AI systems offer unprecedented opportunities for robots to interpret human intent, generate executable programs, and autonomously adapt their behaviour in dynamic environments. However, integrating these capabilities into real-world industrial workflows remains a major challenge. Manufacturing tasks often involve complex interactions, uncertain environments, and the need for seamless collaboration between people and...
