Provides an expert framework for authors submitting to the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL). It guides writers on how to re-frame general computer science manuscripts into specialized, robust robot-learning narratives. The guide covers defining the contribution type, establishing the evidence bar (from simulation to real-world transfer), and strategically positioning the work against major robotics conferences like ICRA and IROS.

This guide helps researchers determine if their embodied AI or robotics project is best suited for the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL). It provides a rigorous two-axis test—assessing if learning is the core contribution and if embodiment is essential to the claim—to decide between submitting to CoRL, ICRA, IROS, NeurIPS, or other journals.

This comprehensive guide helps authors navigate the complex decision of where to submit their Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research. It outlines critical criteria, including the robot-embodiment and human-in-the-loop tests, to determine the correct venue (e.g., HRI, CHI, ICRA/IROS). Furthermore, it details the five specialized tracks within HRI and advises authors on matching their primary technical contribution to the most suitable academic domain.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for packaging and documenting complex robotics research artifacts (code, simulations, hardware designs, datasets, etc.) for scholarly review. It outlines best practices for ensuring reproducibility, adopting the "five-minute-skeptic standard," and managing the full lifecycle of artifacts from review submission to public acceptance.

This guide provides a structured methodology for handling reviewer comments across various academic publishing channels, including camera-ready revisions, formal journal response letters, and resubmission memos. It teaches researchers how to move beyond simple rebuttal by focusing on technical honesty, evidence-based arguments, and disciplined revision processes required by top conferences (ICRA/IROS) and journals (RA-L).

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous, multi-stage process required to transform an accepted conference submission into a publishable "camera-ready" manuscript for IEEE Xplore. It covers crucial steps including adhering to strict page limits (e.g., 8 pages), de-anonymizing content, ensuring metadata compliance via PaperPlaza, completing the IEEE electronic copyright transfer (eCF), and meeting registration requirements for final archival.

A comprehensive guide for designing and reporting rigorous experimental results in robotics research. It details the 'evidence ladder' (from simulation to real-world deployment), statistical best practices (e.g., sample size, confidence intervals), ensuring baseline fairness, and quantifying sim-to-real transfer gaps. Essential reading for researchers submitting to top-tier robotics conferences.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing the 'Related Work' section for top-tier robotics conferences like ICRA. It details how to conduct thorough literature reviews across multiple research 'lanes,' handle concurrent work (arXiv), properly self-cite under double-anonymous rules, and position the novelty against both academic rivals and commercial systems.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards for achieving robust reproducibility in robotics research papers, especially those involving physical hardware. It details a two-tier approach, defining results as either fully *rerunnable* (code/simulation) or fully *auditable* (hardware logs/protocols). Key requirements include creating comprehensive hardware specification ledgers, logging detailed sensor data (rosbags), separating deterministic from stochastic claims, and structuring the entire repository for peer review.

Provides a comprehensive guide to the ICRA conference paper review process. Details the unique pipeline, from submission through the CEB review board, highlighting key structural differences from journal reviews. Special attention is paid to the absence of an author rebuttal phase, advising authors on strategies like anticipating objections, using video evidence, and maximizing clarity to improve acceptance chances.

A comprehensive, final-gate audit guide for submitting papers to major robotics conferences like ICRA using the PaperPlaza system. It details mandatory technical specifications, including page limits (6 content + 2 refs), IEEE two-column compliance, double-anonymous rules, video attachment specs, and critical deadlines. Essential reading to prevent submission rejection or administrative disqualification.

This guide details how to prepare the mandatory video attachment for robotics conference submissions. It covers strict technical specifications (e.g., 180 seconds, 20 MB), the crucial self-containment rule, effective storyboarding techniques, and necessary steps for anonymization. Learn to transform your video from a mere demonstration into robust, undeniable scientific evidence.
