My experience interning at Evodyne Robotics has greatly impacted my goal of becoming an engineer. With Evodyne's innovative and learning-friendly environment, I was pushed to tackle challenging engineering problems with my CAD and electronics skills, such as designing and 3D-printing a planetary gearbox and bipedal leg. Most memorably, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from other excited and skilled interns. With the problem-solving and technical skills I've learned from Evodyne, I'm excited to continue engineering in college and beyond!

I absolutely loved my experience as a summer intern at Evodyne Robotics. I got to choose projects I wanted to work on in both CAD and software. I also got to be the head teacher for the 3D printing course. Teaching forced me to more rigorously learn Fusion360 and I’m thankful for the knowledge I gained from that experience. I wrote code for both the EvoDog and EvoStinger robots, integrating WiFi and a new UI. I also redesigned parts, optimizing them for 3D printing. Through this, I learned a lot about software development and Arduino. I’m very grateful for my experience at Evodyne Robotics, and I can’t think of a better way to have spent my summer

I really enjoyed interning at Evodyne Robotics because I learned many valuable skills from working on projects to helping young students build robots. During my time here I’ve learned how to interact with colleagues in a professional environment. The most important experience for me while working here has been interacting with the students and helping them work through problems they may have experienced with their robots.

I loved my summer at Evodyne. I had the opportunity to work on both CAD and programming projects throughout my time, which helped me develop my skills further. I worked on combining the EvoArm and EvoCar libraries, optimizing the EvoSpinner for 3D printing, writing curriculum for the EvoArm course, and more. I also taught the afternoon 3D Modeling and Printing class! I learned so much from everyone here, and I enjoyed being immersed in an educational environment.

Working at Evodyne Robotics was a great way to grow my technical skills and understand more about robotics outside of school or competitive robotics. I filmed, scripted, and edited a 10-part introductory robotics video series for the EvoBug to be featured on the Evodyne website, improved the EvoDog's ability to walk on perpendicular and parallel slopes by redesigning the feet and reprogramming the balancing functionality, and completed various smaller CAD projects on the side. I'm so grateful to have worked with the other student interns—who are all so talented and bright, and I feel confident to pursue my own robotics projects and delve deeper into the field. Thank you guys so much! This summer was so much fun.

As an intern at Evodyne robotics I’ve been able to build my collaboration skills with fellow colleagues in a professional and social setting. I was also able to help kids learn and understand more about the robotics field and help them learn how to problem solve, which will set them up for success in the future.

My time at Evodyne Robotics has been one of the most meaningful parts of my high school years. Since joining as a rising freshman, I’ve spent weekends and summers designing, programming, and teaching in Evodyne’s innovative lab. Week after week, I’ve learned and built alongside brilliant peers, whether redesigning components for the EvoDog Pro, developing control systems for the MegaDog, or helping younger students debug code and bring their ideas to life. My proudest feat was creating a fully functional remote-control system for the MegaDog, overcoming weeks of undocumented software hurdles with the Arduino Nano ESP32 and FlySky iBUS protocol to make the dog responsive and demo-ready. What has stayed with me most is not just the projects, but the environment: one where curiosity, persistence, and collaboration are valued every day! I’m grateful for the chance to grow here, to contribute to work that excites me, and to be surrounded by people who constantly inspire me.

I joined Evodyne Robotics Academy for a five-week internship, and despite having no prior experience in robotics, I was tasked with a challenging project: to recreate the Evodog robotic model entirely in code and run virtual physics simulations on this model. In order to compete this task, I learned the basics of CAD modeling, Ubuntu system management, how to create Docker environments, the structure of URDF files, meshes, and basic physics—skills essential for completing the project. Additionally, I became proficient in ROS 2 and Ignition Gazebo, the virtual physics simulators used to test the Evodog model. Outside of the work aspect of my internship, it was really nice connecting with so many like minded individuals. Even though my internship was fairly short, it has opened up many new pathways for future endeavors in the world of computer science and robotics.

My experience as an intern at Evodyne robotics was everything I hoped for. I had the opportunity to choose CAD and programming projects that I both found interesting and fit my skill set. I was also a head instructor of the 3D printing course, which pushed me to understand Fusion 360 at a deeper level. I redesigned the Evo-Dog Quadruped Robot into the larger, more capable Evo-Dog Pro. I also took RoboClaw’s Python motor controller library and converted it into a more usable and intuitive API controller. I then created a spline path finding algorithm and integrated it with Pure-Pursuit to calculate differential drivetrain kinematics for position and orientation in 2D space. I was forced out of my comfort zone, utilizing new software, electronics, and languages to learn more advanced CAD and computer science. I am very grateful for the skills and professional experience Evodyne Robotics has given me, as well as the time I spent with Raghav and my fellow interns.

As a Robotics Intern at Evodyne, I've gained invaluable experience in various aspects of robotics engineering. From developing PID controllers to designing RC systems and even improving a pulse motor, I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects. My work has involved programming in C++ and Java, utilizing microcontrollers like Arduino and ESP32, and designing mechanical components using Fusion 360. One of my most challenging and rewarding projects at Evodyne was the Evodog balancing project. The goal was to equip a robot dog with the ability to navigate uneven terrain and inclined planes. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside such talented and dedicated student interns as well as mentor Mr. Raghav at Evodyne. Their passion for robotics and their innovative ideas have been a constant source of inspiration. I feel confident that the skills I’ve developed during my internship will serve me well as I pursue my own robotics projects and continue to delve deeper into this exciting field.

I learned a tremendous amount during my summer internship at Evodyne. Without the experience much from getting to work on projects each day, I would not have such strong foundational knowledge. I was already familiarized with each aspect of STEM we work with, but I learned a new kind of problem solving in this environment which there was no clear or direct answer. Even learning how to maintain a professional tone with students and parents was a totally new expectation. I think what we teach students is incredibly valuable, regardless of which area of STEM they choose to pursue in the future.
