> A curated research map for agents that **perceive, reason, learn, and act**—from virtual game worlds to simulated and physical robots. This repository connects game intelligence and embodied intelligence through papers, projects, datasets, benchmarks, and official demos. The full collection is designed for exploration on the [interactive website](https://lamda-nesy.github.io/Awesome-Game-Embodied-Agents/); this README is the short guide. ## Welcome Researchers, engineers, students, and curious builders are all welcome. If the collection saves you time, please consider giving it a ⭐ and sharing it with your lab, reading group, class, or collaborators.

Category counts overlap when one resource is both a paper and a dataset or benchmark. ## Our vision

Future vision: virtual game worlds and physical robots connected through shared world models, memory, language, planning, data, and continual learning

We want this collection to become a shared research map: traceable enough for careful comparison, approachable enough for newcomers, and open enough for the community to improve together. ## Selection criteria | Track | Window | Standard | | --- | --- | --- | | Leading conferences & journals | 2021-09-14 – 2026-09-14 | Relevant publication with an official record | | Important recent arXiv research | 2025-09-14 – 2026-09-14 | Clear influence or significance with supporting evidence | | Tools & environments | Current research use | Official purpose, interfaces, and setup information | Priority venues include NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, AAAI, IJCAI, CoRL, RSS, ICRA, IROS, Nature, Science, T-RO, IJRR, TPAMI, JMLR, and TMLR. Read the [full collection policy](docs/collection-policy.md) and [metadata notes](docs/metadata.md). ## 🤝 Contributing Suggestions, corrections, new papers, working demos, and better summaries are welcome.
