The Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has a new aggressive initiative to boost basic/applied research in robotics https://www.polyu.edu.hk/web/en/home/index.html
  
We have two fully funded PhD positions in robotics (to begin on September 2017). Research areas include (1) mechanism design, (2) multi-modal perception, and (3) intelligent control
  
The profiles that we are looking for are wide. Prospective students should have a master's degree in mechanical/automation/computer/biomedical/electrical engineering (or related disciplines). We are particularly looking for exceptional candidates with strong analytical background and hands-on experience in experimental robotics. Enquiries about the positions may be sent to Dr. David Navarro-Alarcon at david@cuhk.edu.hk (currently at CUHK, but moving to PolyU on July)
  
Interested candidates should apply online to the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Details can be found here: https://www40.polyu.edu.hk/rowas/jsp/home.jsf  
  
When completing the application, it is essential for candidates to state "Robotics" as the "Area of Interest"
