		RESEARCH (PhD) STUDENTSHIPS AVAILABLE
     Artificial Life/Bio-Inspired Robotics/Complex Agent Systems

   Adaptive Systems Research Group http://adapsys.feis.herts.ac.uk/
       University of Hertfordshire http://perseus.herts.ac.uk/

PhD Studentships are available at the Adaptive Systems Research Group
in the areas (among others) of Bio-inspired and principled Learning
Methods for Complex Agent Systems (with RoboCup as a prominent
instance of our activities), Principles for the Self-Organization of
Perception-Action Loops of Artificial and Biological Systems Evolution
of Sensors (Theory and Robotics). All these fields can be considered
subareas of Artificial Life/Artificial Intelligence which is a central
interest of our group.

We use robotics and mathematical models to create analytical,
predictive and constructive models of self-organized learning.  The
idea is to understand how e.g. biological systems manage to ``climb''
the enormously intransparent complexity and intelligence obstacle to
achieve the impressive variety of capabilities that is found in living
systems and to make use of it for artificial system. For this purpose,
we develop mathematical, simulation and robotic models of these
systems. The goal is to discover novel ``out-of-the-box'' principles
for building intelligent systems.

RoboCup is a favoured and excellent scenario for the application and
evaluation of aforementioned principles!

Please note that, due to recent changes to university regulations and
in the UK law, the studentships specifically target students with EU
citizenship. While non-EU students may apply, they should be aware
that their studentships would be effectively reduced by the
considerable amount of the University of Hertfordshire 'overseas'
university fees.
