Structuring a Robotics Conference Paper
It's conference paper writing season for #roboticists!
With the 2024 #IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (#ICRA #ICRA2024) deadline just around the corner, I recently ran through a walkthrough of the typical structure and components of a robotics conference paper with our research group.
The Title, Abstract, Introduction, Background, Approach, Experimental Setup, Results, Discussion, References, and a bunch of key tips for how to approach each one, like the critical FPF - First Page Figure, tone in setting up the gap, and flagging to the reader what is a claimed new contribution versus what is included for the purpose of being self-contained.
Here is that walkthrough in video format complete with paper schematic highlighting, as my newest #HackingAcademia podcast and video.
