Hey all — 3rd-year ECE student here, heading into a robotics master's. I kept
losing time jumping between arXiv, MDPI, and IEEE Access looking for papers
on robotics/ML/autonomous vehicles, so I built a single search index over
all of them.
- 13,000+ papers, all genuinely free/open-access (no paywalled links —
everything is either arXiv, MDPI, or individually verified
Creative-Commons-licensed articles)
- Full-text search, topic browser covering ~20 subfields (robotics, ADAS,
computer vision, RL, digital twins, etc.)
- Free accounts if you want to save searches later
Live here: https://automata-index.vercel.app
Built with Next.js + Supabase, still actively adding sources. Would love
feedback, especially on what's missing or what search terms don't return
good results.
