PhD in human-robot communication for workspace sharing in industrial settings

The research group of the department of mechanical engineering at Gent Technology Campus focuses on improving logistic processes.
New types of devices and machines are designed and developed. They lead to new logistic concepts and procedures.
In our research, we work together intensively with other research groups on Campus.
The research group also has access to an extensive network of companies in the industry and in the logistics sector, both in the region and internationally.
The faculty of Engineering Technology organizes education in applied Engineering programmes.
It relies on an extensive national and international network, both in the academic and business world.

Project

The student will collaborate with a research group active in the development of new robotic technologies to increase the level of safety and productivity in industrial contexts and in particular in logistics applications.
