Understanding the Human Spatial Navigation in Complex Urban Environment – CSC PhD scholarship

The University of Birmingham is inviting applications for a China Scholarship Council (CSC) PhD studentship focused on human navigation in urban environments. This exciting research opportunity leverages cutting-edge technologies to explore how humans interact with and navigate complex urban spaces.

Project Description

This research studentship centres on the study of human navigation in urban environments, incorporating the latest advancements in Virtual Reality (VR), robotics, computer vision, and AI technologies.

Key Focus Areas:

• Mobile Eye-Tracking and Virtual Reality (VR) systems
• Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM)
• Motion tracking and analysis
• Deep-learning-based computer vision algorithms

The project aims to develop an in-depth understanding of spatial awareness and human movement dynamics in various urban settings. Outcomes from this research will have significant implications for urban planning, transportation safety, autonomous vehicle systems, and neuroscience, contributing to a deeper understanding of human-environment interactions.

Supervision and Environment

The successful candidate will work under the guidance of experts in the field, benefiting from a collaborative research environment with access to advanced facilities.
