Imperial and TUM launch joint PhD programme in AI, robotics and healthcare | Artificial intelligence - Imperial College London

Imperial and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have launched a joint PhD programme that will initially focus on AI, robotics and healthcare by Stephen Johns, Communications and Public Affairs at Imperial College London.

Professor Aldo Faisal will co-lead a project which may help robotic hands become more effective

The The first wave will support six collaborative research projects, with each individual project led by both an Imperial and a TUM supervisor and underpinned by two doctoral candidates from each university.

The PhD students will spend extended periods at each institution to help build their networks and expand their knowledge...

The first six projects are:

Representation Learning in Oncologic Imaging - Dr Ben Glocker (Imperial) and Professor Marcus Makowski (TUM)

Motion-Corrected Quantitative Body MRI - Dr Bernhard Kainz (Imperial) and Professor Dimitrios Karampinos (TUM)

Confidence-driven Robotic Ultrasound Tissue Scanning for Surgical Resection Guidance - Dr Stamatia Giannarou (Imperial) and Professor Alin Albu-Schäffer (TUM)

Human not Monkey Robotics: Neuro-inspired object manipulation with dextrous hands - Professor Aldo Faisal (Imperial) and Professor David Franklin (TUM)

Sensory Motor Interface for Lower-extremity Exoskeletons - Dr Ravi Vaidyanathan (Imperial) and Professor Klaus Drechsler (TUM)

Non-fluoroscopy-based Robotic Catheter Manipulation and Tracking based on Machine Learning, Bioelectrical Localization and Robotics - Professor Ferdinando Rodriguez y Baena (Imperial) and Professor Nassir Navab (TUM)
