Robotics Internships through Department of Energy EERE AMMTO (RI)
The Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Robotic Internship (RI) at ORNL aims to help undergraduate, graduate, and recent graduates develop long- lasting relationships with ORNL and its staff. Across a variety of fields, student projects aim to advance development of machines that can substitute and replicate human actions in an automated way.
“This experience provided me with opportunities for growth and development through professional and personal means… It’s been an amazing experience that [my mentor] walked with me through the entirety.”- Former ORNL internship participant
