Engineering Department Location: Newport, Shropshire TF10 8NB Salary: £35,166 per annum Post Type: Full Time Contract Type: Fixed Term - Until 30 September 2028 Closing Date: 23.59 hours BST on Friday 15 August 2025 Reference: IM-1930 Position: Doctoral Candidate #5 (DC 5) Project: Safe and legal operation of robots in agricultural environments Host Institution: Harper Adams University – United Kingdom PhD programme: Harper Adams University PhD programme Fixed term until 30 September 2028 Research project description Agricultural robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies could soon be helping farmers improve global food security by alleviating labour shortages, increasing efficiency, sustainability and resilience to climate change, and reducing the use of chemicals, fertiliser, water and energy; thereby minimising farming’s environmental impact. AI machine learning offers a new expedient method of developing control systems for tasks that would be difficult to manage using classical technologies. Agricultural applications present a unique opportunity for AI systems as they often involve repeatable tasks within a relatively low-safety-risk environment, unlike public or transportation applications. Although some agricultural technology developers are already incorporating AI systems in their products to enhance the control and functionality, there are growing concerns about functional safety regulations and product certification due to the inherent uncertainty of how AI systems make decisions. Classical engineering development guidelines, are difficult to interpret or simply not transferrable to AI systems. There are virtually no satisfactory ways of exhaustively ensuring and demonstrating that these stochastic systems meet the demonstrable, repeatable, and predictable expectations of existing safety legislation. This is hindering their development and delaying their introduction into the market. The engineering process for ensuring compliance with functional safety requirements involves thorough risk analyses for the intended application and product. This includes evaluating the system’s ability to perform reliably under environmental and technical limitations, and establishing redundancies, where necessary, to ensure these limits are maintained and honoured. Tools like FMEA and HARA are staples in this process which typically involves the establishment of manageable boundaries within which the system is intended to function and demonstration of the system’s safe operation within these regions, usually requiring the system to abort, or go to a default safe state, when the intended conditions are not met. For example, lane keep assist on automotive vehicles (whereby the vehicle ADAS system attempts to keep the vehicle within road markings through small corrective steering inputs) will immediately abort (or not engage) if the bright white lines that fit a defined and rigid expectation are not clearly visible. These systems use algorithms, rather than AI machine learning, to detect road markings and, if the system does not detect well understood, highly demonstrable and (critically) highly repeatable parameters for lane markings, it gives a null result and does not attempt any corrective steering. A non-deterministic AI machine learning model for the identical task would not offer this demonstrability or, critically, the repeatability of classical algorithm-based systems. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a concurrent redundant model will return an identical result for basic cross-checking. To overcome these issues AI system developers often resort to running parallel classical-based systems to act as an oversight of the AI. This is costly, complex, and time consuming, nullifying the benefits of using an AI approach. This project’s two aims are (1) Establish the best approach for developing machine learning based control systems for agricultural applications that will allow developers to demonstrate that their AI systems meet safety requirements, based on reviewing and interpreting current legislation for non-deterministic AI systems. (2) Create new compliance testing procedures and processes for agricultural AI machine learning systems. These are essential for manufacturers developing these systems, and will accelerating the supply of AI machine learning controlled machinery to farmers unlocking all of the benefits described in the first paragraph. Objective: Achieve both of the above. Expected Result: Achieve both of the above.
