## What this site is

Get Into Robotics is a free, curated directory of robotics learning resources. It is not a course platform and does not sell hardware. It groups high-signal links into eight collections so learners can find projects, tutorials, ROS materials, courses, books and simulators without wading through unfiltered search results.

Direct answer: Get Into Robotics is a curated robotics resources library with 99 links across 8 collections, maintained by Akshet Patel for beginners through advanced roboticists.

## Who it is for

- Absolute beginners choosing a first learning path
- Students looking for free university courses and lecture playlists
- Engineers adopting ROS or ROS 2
- Builders comparing robotic simulators
- Researchers scanning open-source projects and curated GitHub collections

## How the library is organised

1. Open-source robotics projects (15 links): Duckietown, TortoiseBot, ROSbloX, andino, NASA JPL Open-Source Rover, F1TENTH, Autoware Foundation, OpenPodCar, Mini Pupper, EROS-1, Hexapod, machinascript-for-robots, OMPL, Robot-Overlord-App, and a wider open robot hardware directory.
2. GitHub repositories to learn robotics (15 links): research paper lists, machine learning for robotics, PythonRobotics, coursework collections, awesome lists and related frameworks.
3. ROS resources (8 links): university ROS courses and community lists from Delft, ETH Zurich, Purdue, UPC Barcelona, Belgrade, Washington, plus company and awesome-ros lists.
4. ROS 2 resources (5 links): beginner and Humble crash courses, Autoware self-driving material and general ROS 2 tutorial playlists.
5. YouTube channels and playlists (21 links): 10 channels and 11 lecture or course playlists spanning mathematics, manipulation, underactuated robotics, dynamics and control.
6. Free university courses (8 links): Duckietown MOOC, MIT, QUT Robot Academy, Stanford, Freiburg, MIT CSAIL underactuated robotics and UC Berkeley advanced robotics.
7. Books to learn robotics (6 links): ROS-focused books available as online PDFs for learners who prefer long-form reading.
8. Robotic simulators (21 links): gym-duckietown, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, RoboDK, Webots, CoppeliaSim, AWS RoboMaker, MORSE, Simscape, AGX Dynamics, industrial suites, MuJoCo, Unity and related tools.
