WALK-IN INTERVIEW

Applications are invited from Indian nationals for the position of Junior Research Fellow (JRF) to work on DST-GITA project titled “Affordable preventative and assistive technology for healthcare (A-PATH)” under the supervision of undersigned. The position is purely temporary and is for a maximum duration of 1 year.

General Scope of the Project:

A-PATH aims at strengthening the industrial research collaboration between UK and India organisations in the area of wearable robots (exoskeletons and sensing suits) to develop commercial bio-sensing and assistive exoskeleton products based on a modular designed architecture for individual customisation to meet needs of UK and Indian markets. The exploitable output will be a sensing suit, an upper passive and lower active exoskeleton available at affordable prices, to be used as mobility assistance and rehabilitation tool. To enhance commercial viability via reducing the use of expensive components, maximising implementation of passive technologies and optimising roles of UK and Indian partners, and to maximise A-PATH’s market impact and the development of RACA and personal care assistive solutions to meet the needs of medical and non-medical sectors, respectively, are also part of the proposed objectives. A-PATH technical activities will be carried out throughout the actions managed by the PLs using their detailed knowledge on wearable sensors and exoskeletons. Many R&D projects on wearable exoskeletons have been funded in EU and notable examples include Corbys, MoPass, Altacro, Biomot, H2, EXO-LEGS, AXO-SUIT, Robo-Mate, Mirad. None of them has the same technical and product objectives as A-PATH in identifying new ways of achieving improved flexibility and autonomous performance, with the ultimate aim of improving the efficiency in the management of human-robot interaction in upper and lower exoskeletons by means of biosensors and learning approaches. A-PATH’s novelty lies also in the investigation of new materials (e.g. composites and textiles) for innovative exoskeletons to reduce the overall weight thus improving the flexibility and the wearability for long periods. The project team has the right available mix of skills and experience (in both countries) to deliver the project successfully, and have the required equipment and facilities to perform the technical challenges. InnoTecUK is a dynamic, fast growing and progressive robotics and automation solution provider specialising in development of innovative and novel industrial robotic systems to overcome complex sensing, measurement, control, automation and inspection challenges. AdvanceTech deals in Industrial tools as Data Loggers (Energy Data Loggers, Soil Moisture Data Loggers & Soil pH Moisture Data Logger, Production Counting Display, Environmental Display, Employee Counting system) and Multifunctional Circuit Testers.
