Legged Robotics Research Index

A curated research-oriented index for legged robotics, focused on:

• long-term retrieval through master lists
• daily discovery through dated logs
• direct browsing and editing in GitHub Markdown

This repository is intended to support research discovery, orientation, and long-term reference for students and researchers working on legged locomotion and related areas.

This repository is a curated index, not a benchmark, ranking, or evaluation. Entries are based on publicly available information and are intended to be useful, readable, and maintainable in GitHub.

Master Lists

• papers.md — long-term curated paper list
• repos.md — long-term curated repository and toolkit list
• labs.md — source network for labs, professors, and related researchers
• jobs.md — dynamic list of active or watchlisted academic and industry opportunities

Daily Logs

• legged-daily/ — dated daily updates and new findings

Search Strategy

Discovery layers through these source categories:

1. Priority venues — arXiv, IROS, ICRA, RA-L, RSS, IJRR, Science Robotics, T-RO, CoRL, CVPR, NeurIPS, AAAI.
2. Tracked labs and researchers — channels (homepage, GitHub, X, Google Scholar, YouTube, Bilibili, etc.) recorded in labs.md.
3. Aggregator sources — non-lab, non-venue feeds (arXiv category RSS, curator accounts, industry media, community channels) maintained in source-watchlist.md.
4. Adjacent high-signal sources when clearly relevant to legged robotics.

Templates & Drafts

This repo is maintained by an agent. templates/legged-daily-template.md defines the daily output format, while drafts/ holds working drafts that may be pushed for GitHub preview before formal publication.

How This Repository Works

Daily logs

Daily logs capture newly discovered:

• papers
• repositories
• lab / professor signals
• job signals

Each daily file is stored under:

• legged-daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Master lists

Master lists keep only the information worth preserving for long-term retrieval.

• papers.md and repos.md are curated reference lists
• labs.md is a growing source network
• jobs.md tracks active or watchlisted opportunities
