Prospective PhD students can apply through Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemical & Biological Engineering.
We are specifically looking for people with solid experience in at least one of the following: mechatronics (we build our own robots), sys admin (we manage our own servers), simulation and parallel computing (we develop our own physics engines), deep reinforcement learning (we evolve novel robots for which known controllers do not exist), or organoids (with our colleagues, we build self-motile organoids, i.e. "biobots").
Just mention my name in your application.
Make sure you have applied to any sources of scholarships available to you.
