You can share and adapt the content freely, as long as it is not used commercially and proper credit is given to the original creators.

In plain English

"Embodied AI" refers to artificial intelligence that powers physical robots and machines that interact with the real world, think robotic arms, autonomous delivery bots, or humanoid robots. The Octoday Hub repository is essentially a massive, curated directory for this field. It acts as a single starting point where you can find everything from beginner courses and academic papers to open-source software tools, industry company profiles, and even job openings at major robotics companies. The project is organized like a map that guides you from basic concepts to industry careers. For someone just getting started, it points to recommended books and online courses from universities like Stanford and Tsinghua. From there, it branches out into practical resources: a collection of over 300 research papers, more than 150 software tools and open-source projects for building robots, and a directory of over 270 companies working in this space worldwide. It also tracks industry events, competitions, and conferences so you can keep up with what is happening in the field. This resource is designed for a wide mix of people. A student or software engineer looking to transition into robotics could use it to build a foundational understanding of the technology and find open-source projects to practice with. A founder or product manager exploring the robotics landscape could use the company directory to understand who the major players are, from Boston Dynamics and Tesla to smaller startups, and track where venture capital is flowing. Someone actively looking for work can browse over 500 curated job listings, complete with direct links to apply at companies like NVIDIA, ByteDance, or Waymo. The repository is maintained by a community of volunteers who update it weekly, and anyone is welcome to contribute by submitting new resources or fixing errors. Notably, the project operates under a license that allows others to share and adapt the content, as long as it is not used commercially and proper credit is given. The README doesn't go into deep technical detail about how individual robotics technologies work, but rather serves as a high-level index to help people navigate a rapidly growing industry.
