Full-time MSc on Teleoperated Robot Control and Simulation for CERN
Department of Systems and Control Engineering
Faculty of Engineering
A full-time MSc by Research position is available within the Department of Systems and Control
Engineering (SCE) in the Faculty of Engineering, in collaboration with CERN, the European
Organization for Nuclear Research.
The project requires the development of an accurate reproduction and simulation environment of
the TeleMAX and tEODor telerobots used at CERN for remote maintenance operations in
contaminated environments. The project will be supervised by SCE academics with co-supervision
by CERN staff. The post requires a 6-month full-time residence at CERN. Grants will be provided to
cover travel and living expenses at CERN.
Applicants must be in possession of, or expect to obtain, at least a Second Class Honours degree
ideally in Electrical & Electronic Engineering or any other related area. Ideal candidates must have
a strong background in control systems and robotics; familiarity with CAD software; proficiency in
programming, including C++ and MATLAB/Simulink; and an aptitude for mathematics.
For further details, please contact Prof. Simon G. Fabri or Dr. Ing. Marvin Bugeja in the SCE
department. Interested students should send an email of expression of interest for this project, a
copy of their CV and a course transcript to simon.fabri@um.edu.mt or marvin.bugeja@um.edu.mt
