Australia’s prized Great Barrier Reef is in decline and threatened by climate change and regular mass coral bleaching events. To address this, CSIRO Robotics is looking for an enthusiastic and skilled CERC Fellow to conduct cutting-edge research in the design of novel shape-morphing soft robots for reef rehabilitation. They will create new, highly functional morphologies (structure, shape, and material composition) for soft reef robots to swim amongst and replant coral.
The CERC Fellow will be supported by world-leading experts in Soft Robotics, 4D Printing, Marine Biology and Coral Generation to help bring their ideas to life. They will have the opportunity to deploy prototypes in the field, at sites including the Great Barrier Reef, as part of CSIRO’s ongoing research and rehabilitation missions.
