Embodied AI Cookbook

🍳 Welcome to the Kitchen!

Welcome to the Embodied AI Cookbook! This project is a curated learning path designed to demystify the world of Embodied AI for beginners. Instead of providing complex codebases, we serve as your expert guide, hand-picking the best "ingredients" (core concepts) and "recipes" (the finest tutorials, papers, and videos) from across the web.

Our mission is to provide the clearest, most structured roadmap for learning Embodied AI, saving you countless hours of searching and sifting through information.

✨ Why This Cookbook?

• 🗺️ Curated Learning Path: We don't just give you a list of links. We've organized the best resources into a step-by-step "menu" that guides you logically from beginner to advanced topics.
• 💡 Concept-First: We focus on helping you build a solid understanding of the core ideas. For every topic, we provide intuitive explanations and link to the best content that elaborates on it.
• 🚀 Zero Setup Required: Forget about git clone or complex environment setups. Your learning journey starts the moment you open this page. All you need is your curiosity and a web browser.
