Automated Generative Manufacturing Process Design, Feasibility, Planning and Assessment(EPSRCICASE award with JLR)

本研究项目旨在改进汽车车身的设计和制造工艺。我们想创建一个系统，可以自动检查可用的机器人是否可以完成这项工作，以及零件是否可以成功地组装在一起。与目前工程师手动检查每一步的方法相比，这将节省时间和精力。我们的系统还将能够快速测试和比较不同的装配序列，以找到降低成本和提高效率的最佳序列。一旦我们开发出这个系统，它就可以用于生产过程中，使汽车车身的制造更快、更高效。作为谢菲尔德大学的博士生，您将可以使用世界一流的设施和该领域领先研究人员的专家监督。您将有机会解决捷豹路虎面临的现实问题和挑战，并发展您在数字制造方面的技能和专业知识。除了获得全额资助，包括有竞争力的津贴、差旅和研究费用的支持外，成功的候选人还将有机会通过与捷豹路虎密切合作获得宝贵的工业经验。完成博士学位后，将有机会在捷豹路虎担任学术研究员或工业研究员。这是一个独特而令人兴奋的机会，让您站在数字化制造研究的最前沿，并在这个快速发展的领域发展您的职业生涯。如果你是一个具有计算机科学、工程或相关领域背景的上进心很强的人，我们鼓励你申请谢菲尔德大学和捷豹路虎的博士职位。不要错过这个机会，现在就申请吧！

This research project aims to improve the design and manufacturing process for car bodies. We want to create a system that automatically checks if the available robots can do the job and if the parts can be put together successfully. This will save time and effort compared to the current method, where engineers manually check each step. Our system will also be able to quickly test and compare different assembly sequences to find the best one for reducing cost and increasing efficiency. Once we have developed this system, it can be used in the production process to make building car bodies faster and more efficient.As a PhD student at the University of Sheffield, you will have access to world-class facilities and expert supervision from leading researchers in the field. You will have the opportunity to work on real-world problems and challenges faced by Jaguar Land Rover, and to develop your skills and expertise in digital manufacturing.In addition to receiving a full funding package, including a competitive stipend and support for travel and research expenses, the successful candidate will also have the opportunity to gain valuable industrial experience through working closely with Jaguar Land Rover. Upon completion of the PhD, there will be opportunities for employment as an academic researcher or as an industrial researcher at Jaguar Land Rover.This is a unique and exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of research in digital manufacturing, and to develop your career in this rapidly-growing field. If you are a highly-motivated individual with a background in computer science, engineering, or a related field, we encourage you to apply for this funded PhD position at the University of Sheffield and Jaguar Land Rover.
