A curated guide to embodied AI and robotics: components, hardware, software, models, datasets, benchmarks, companies, products and research.
Maintained by BotsTest. Includes directly relevant resources and explicitly labeled supporting tools. Resource links point to their source.
Edition: 2026-10-11. 2000 curated URLs, 9 categories and 55 available subcategories. The full candidate archive preserves 2042 historically checked URLs: 16 excluded and 26 awaiting review.
Editorial inclusion and endpoint checks are separate. Check dates are historical; this edition does not imply fresh network checks or installation tests. Scores help discovery; they do not measure performance or suitability for a specific deployment.
