About the conference
ICRA is robotics’ largest and most prestigious conference (with IROS as its autumn counterpart): manipulation, locomotion, perception, planning, and learning for robots. The field’s hardware demos and video attachments are part of the reviewing culture.
Papers are typically due in September for the conference the following May or June. A distinctive option: submitting through the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) pathway can yield a journal publication presented at the conference — worth understanding before choosing the submission route.
