RobotX 2027 博士奖学金

100%, Zurich, fixed-term print RobotX, the Center for Robotics at ETH Zurich, is looking for outstanding doctoral students who want to build robots that work in the real world. With the RobotX PhD Fellowship 2027, you apply once and are considered by several RobotX research groups across ETH Zurich. You choose up to three professors you would like to work with, and they review your application. Application deadline: 27 November 2026. Job description The research groups of RobotX cover a broad spectrum of robotics, including but not limited to: Soft and Musculoskeletal Robotics: bioinspired robots built from compliant materials, artificial muscles, and tendons, for safe and adaptive interaction with an unstructured world. Robotic Locomotion and Manipulation: legged robots, robot arms, and hands that move and act reliably in complex terrain and contact-rich tasks. Biohybrid Robots: robots built from living cells, engineered tissue, and synthetic materials, actuated by muscle and powered by chemical energy. Perception and Computer Vision: 3D reconstruction, object recognition, and scene understanding that give robots reliable perception of their surroundings. Human-Robot Interaction: sensory-motor interaction between humans and machines for assistive, rehabilitative, and cooperative tasks. Computational Design and Fabrication: simulation, optimization, and learned surrogate models to design and fabricate efficient, bioinspired robots. Reinforcement Learning and Machine Learning: data-driven methods that let robots learn new skills and adapt to new tasks and environments. Humanoid Robotics and Tactile Sensing for Manipulation: humanoid loco-manipulation, whole-body control, and tactile sensing that let robots reason across touch and vision to handle objects dexterously. Motion Planning and Control: algorithms for navigation, control, and decision-making in dynamic environments. Safety-Critical Robotic Systems: robots that perform reliably under uncertainty, in particular when they work alongside humans. You define your doctoral project together with your supervisor during your first months.
