IROS Skills
A 12-skill depth pack for IROS submissions: venue fit against the robotics calendar, PaperPlaza upload audits, the 60-second video attachment, embodied-evidence experiments, double-anonymous review with no rebuttal, the RA-L presentation pathway, and IEEE Xplore camera-ready. Grounded in the official IROS 2026 (Pittsburgh) call for papers, important-dates page, IEEE RAS/RSJ pages, and PaperPlaza,
Skills in this plugin
11- ▌ Iros Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse 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, and return-without-review triggers.
- ▌ Iros Experiments · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 apply before they trust a demo.
- ▌ Iros Camera Ready · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 anonymity had blocked.
- ▌ Iros Related Work · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 double-anonymous cycle.
- ▌ Iros Supplementary · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 supplementary PDF.
- ▌ Iros Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 reviewers.
- ▌ Iros Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 proceedings outcomes.
- ▌ Iros Author Response · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 resubmission memos under double-anonymous rules.
- ▌ Iros Reproducibility · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 a page budget with no supplementary PDF.
- ▌ Iros Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 before writing begins.
- ▌ Iros Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanfordUse 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 making a claim auditable not asserted.
