You can do a PhD in the field, depending on your background this wouldn’t necessarily mean that you had to give up working. There are many companies interested in „Industry PhD“ and your experience and background in robotics would probably be a great fit at many places. To give you an example I recently interacted with someone that was doing a PhD and was working for Stabilo (a German pen maker). Here is a random PhD job opening in Stockholm, that I just got send. I know the professor he would be very happy if someone with industry experience showed up: We have a PhD opening in my group, addressing “event-based vision in challenging automotive environments”. https://kth.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:560761/type:job/where:4/apply:1 https://kth.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:560761/type:job/wher...

Wouldn't you need at least a few publications in the field to be considered for your group? Also, I think you forgot to post one link, the one you got sent.

  There is no expectation that you have published, you would be evaluated based on your academic record but also your industry experience. I can’t tell you how things work in the case of Industry PhD, but I can definitely tell you that since now a lot of academic fields have connections to AI and could really use people with strong engineering skills, there is a good chance you could find such a position.

    Is it Ok if I can email you?

      To clarify the link I posted above, was for a job opening not in our group but in the group of Jörg Conradt, I think he would be happy if you send him a mail. I'm at a physics institute, so it is hard to hire non-physicists. I'm trying to be semi-anonymous here so I would prefer to not share my mail, but I can reach out to you if you give me a way to contact you.
