Japanese government (MEXT) scholarship research students on Global Advanced Assistive Robotics (GAAR) CourseThe course will include the design and implementation of intelligent systems that would provide solutions to industry, medical welfare, and multidisciplinary subjects such as integrated circuits, control, sensing, nano-systems, computer systems, machine learning, cognitive and behavioral science, neuroscience, brain-computer interface, and collaborative learning with Japanese students.
Note that it is not necessarily too specific to “assistive” robotics.
As outlined in the flyer below, there are requirements for a grade coefficient and language proficiency. The grade coefficient needs to be converted to the evaluation method the MEXT uses. For English language proficiency, scores for speaking and writing are required, in addition to the existing scores for reading and listening. If you cannot complete the English language proficiency application in time, you may be able to submit a certificate issued by your home university confirming that you have taken classes in English or the certificate from the Duolingo English Test works out.
The application deadline has been extended to Dec 12, 2023. Please apply ASAP to accelerate our screening and interview process. After the screening and interview, we plan to finish selecting the final candidates by early January 2024.
