iros-artifact-evaluationUse when packaging IROS evidence for a skeptical reviewer even though IROS runs no formal artifact track — the robotics artifact stack of hardware ledger, logs, configs, code, and data, what an embodied-systems reviewer opens first, review-time anonymity versus acceptance-time public release, and ma
iros-author-responseUse when responding to IROS reviews given the traditional no-rebuttal model — pre-answering objections in the paper and video before submission, addressing the meta-review through camera-ready edits, writing RA-L response letters for the journal pathway, and drafting reject-to-ICRA/CoRL/RA-L resubmi
iros-camera-readyUse when preparing an accepted IROS paper for IEEE Xplore camera-ready — de-anonymization from the double-anonymous cycle, integrating the meta-review, the IEEE electronic copyright form (eCF), the July final-paper deadline, registration and in-person presentation, and the public artifact release an
iros-experimentsUse when designing or auditing IROS experiments — real-robot trial counts, success criteria set in advance, reset procedures, failure taxonomies, baseline fairness on matched hardware, sim-to-real gap reporting, small-n statistics, and the claim-to-evidence ladder that embodied-systems reviewers app
iros-related-workUse when positioning an IROS submission against robotics-systems literature across ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL, RA-L, and T-RO, covering the lanes embodied-systems reviewers check, concurrent arXiv work, prior-version overlap, IEEE Xplore archival status, and keeping self-citations anonymous under the dou
iros-reproducibilityUse when strengthening IROS reproducibility evidence — splitting rerunnable claims from auditable-only real-robot claims, the hardware specification ledger, calibration and parameter disclosure, log capture discipline, honest code/data availability statements, and sim-to-real accounting, all inside
iros-review-processUse when reasoning about IROS peer review — the PaperPlaza Associate-Editor/Editor pipeline, the traditional no-rebuttal single-notification model, how the video and embodied evidence steer reviewers, the 2026 double-anonymous posture, decision criteria for systems papers, and IEEE Xplore proceeding
iros-submissionUse when auditing an IROS paper for the PaperPlaza upload — author PINs and metadata, the content-page limit with references counted in, IEEE two-column format, the 2026 double-anonymous rule, the 60-second/10 MB video attachment and its own deadline, dual-submission traps shared with ICRA and RA-L,
iros-supplementaryUse when preparing the IROS video attachment as evidence — the 60-second/10 MB limit, its own deadline, storyboarding uncut real trials and labeled failures, showing playback speed honestly, anonymizing footage under the double-anonymous cycle, and compensating for the fact that IROS provides no sup
iros-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a project is a strong IROS fit, routing among ICRA, RSS, CoRL, RA-L, T-RO, HRI, and CASE from IROS's seat on the fall IEEE/RSJ calendar, identifying the integrated-system contribution and its embodiment constraint, and sharpening the intelligent-robots-and-systems framing b
iros-workflowUse when planning an IROS project timeline from venue fit through the spring paper deadline, the separate video deadline, the summer review silence, the June notification, the July camera-ready, IEEE Xplore publication, registration, and presentation, with backward-planning offsets for a real-robot
iros-writing-styleUse when revising an IROS paper for a task-first opening, an integrated-system narrative, the references-counted-in page budget with no supplementary PDF, double-anonymous wording, demo-speak-to-numbers rewrites, and figure-first structure that carries the argument in the body for embodied-systems r
