Robotics Institute Germany Internships (RIGI)

Robotics Institute Germany (RIG), an initiative funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), aims to connect leading robotics centers across Germany. An important part of RIG is its internship program RIGI (RIG Internships), starting at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS). RIGI's goal is to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in AI-powered robotics. RIGI supports promising bachelor’s and master’s students, especially those from underrepresented groups in robotics.
