The DIGIT sensor is a compact, low-cost, and high-resolution vision-based tactile sensor designed for in-hand robotic manipulation tasks. It improves upon traditional tactile sensors by offering a smaller form factor, enhanced durability, and streamlined manufacturing, making it suitable for multi-fingered robotic hands. DIGIT utilizes an elastomer surface to measure contact forces via image deformation captured by an embedded camera, delivering precise tactile feedback. Its modular design allows easy replacement of components, supports task-specific elastomers, and ensures robustness under repeated use. With a cost of approximately $15 per unit in batch manufacturing, DIGIT provides an accessible and effective solution for tactile sensing in robotics.

This post is intention to help future international PhD students to ease their enrollment process.

Step 1: Find a mentor and prepare your documents

You need to find a topic, working title, individual curriculum and supervising team (supervisor and mentor) yourself to be able to fill out the form. According to our curriulum for the doctoral studies the mentor needs to have a venia docendi. 

If your degrees are not from a EU country, you need a full authentication or an Apostille of your documents (and the translations, if your documents are not in English), please inform yourself if you’d need either an authentication or Apostille for Austria! This is valid for both, Master’s documents as well as bachelor’s!

If you can not obtain an authentication/Apostille we also accept a translation of your 4 academical documents by an officially licenced translator in Austria instead.

Step 2: Applications form

You have also required to fulfil 20 ECTS, they have to be split in main and secondary subject:

• Courses that don’t have anything to do with your subjects (language courses etc.) you can do up to 4 ECTS

• Privatissima (talking to your prof, SE type) for a maximum of 4 ECTS

• There is no limit on IV courses

• And you can also have stuff (eg. summer school) from other unis, however you have to go through the equality process (they will check if it really is equal to the ects here)

These stated in the curriculum, which is in German.

Example course:

Step 3: Online registration for graduates of Non-Austrian University

Create a basic account in MUonline of the university. You have to create a student account even you have a staff account.

p/s: Sign out your staff account when you’re in the process of creating a basic account.

Detailed admission process at here.

Step 4: Waiting and make appointment to verify the real document
