New
Created in the last twelve months, by stars. Only 42 repositories here were created in the last 90 days — a repository needs time to reach the fifty-star floor this index uses, which is why the recent-floor pass and the arXiv and organisation routes exist.

Code categories
Every repository is placed in one category, from keywords in its description and topics. Perception dominates: SLAM, LiDAR and point clouds outnumber the model and learning work the field talks about by a wide margin. Click a category to see its repositories.

Robots
Which robot each repository is written for — a driver, a controller, a policy trained on it. Not where a robot is merely mentioned: a URDF parser shipping a PR2 model as a test fixture was removed by hand, as were a catalogue listing 190 robots and a paper that shares its name with hardware. 556 of 3,024 name identifiable hardware.
