All-terrain adaptive mobile robots

Supervisor: Dr Ildar Farkhatdinov

In this project you will model, design and implement novel mobility mechanisms for robotic systems. The primary idea is to develop novel mechatronic actuation and kinematics to enable a hybrid wheeled-legged robot to operate easily in various terrains.

The project will include mathematical modelling of the robotic mechanism, its implementation with rapid prototyping, control system development comprising sensing and actuation and final system testing and characterisation.

The specific topic and application can be identified based on your research interests. The desirable skills include computer/microcontroller programming, CAD and control systems analysis.
