akshetP/robotics-resources

A complete library of resources that caters to all levels of Roboticists.

What it solves

Finding trustworthy robotics learning material is scattered across GitHub, university pages, YouTube, and commercial sites. This project gathers everything into one organized list, so you don’t have to hunt for open-source robot builds, tutorials, papers, simulators, or ROS/ROS2 guides. It serves beginners who need simple starting points, hobbyists who want hands-on projects, and advanced users looking for research papers or simulation tools.

How it works

The repository is a plain markdown file that categorizes links into eight sections: open-source robotics projects (like Duckietown and NASA JPL’s rover), hands-on projects (such as obstacle-avoiding cars and self-balancing robots), learning repositories, ROS and ROS2 resources, YouTube channels/playlists/courses, books, and robotic simulators. Each entry is just a link with a short description. It does not host any code or tools itself—it is a curated index that points to external resources. You can browse by category and open the links directly.

Who it’s for

Anyone interested in robotics, from absolute beginners to experienced roboticists. Students can find university courses and textbooks, hobbyists can build open-source robots or follow tutorials, and researchers can access papers and simulation environments. The list covers both education and practical application, so it suits self-learners, educators, and professionals exploring the field.

Highlights
