Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering - Robotics and Uninhabited Systems

University of Cincinnati

An autonomous or uninhibited system is a robot with little to no interference from humans - it reacts to situations as a human would. Systems that are autonomous are efficient, improve safety, reduce waste, and perform tasks to free up human time. Aside from the everyday tasks an autonomous system can do, extraordinary circumstances are improved too - like a robot that can fill up a satellite with a tank of gas. The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computing Systems offers the Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering.The graduate research environment provides excellent opportunities to work on exciting and challenging projects. Funding comes from national and state research agencies such as NSF, NIH, NASA, Army Research Office, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Office of Naval Research, and Ohio Department of Transportation. We have an excellent research and teaching facilities with 32 faculty members including research laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment in the areas of hardware and software systems, artificial intelligence, neural networks, image processing, electronic design automation, MEMS, microsensors, millimeter waves and photonics, nanoelectronics, and optoelectronics.
