Use 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 Author Response

Use this after IROS reviews arrive — and, crucially, *before* submission too, because IROS traditionally
offers **no rebuttal**. The reviews come with the decision, so the "response" is spread across three real
channels: pre-answering in the paper, editing the camera-ready, and, if rejected or on the journal route,
a response letter or resubmission memo. Confirm the current cycle's policy before assuming a rebuttal
window does or does not exist.

## Channel 1: pre-answer before you submit

The most effective IROS author response is written before anyone reviews the paper. Anticipate the
standard objections and disarm them in the body and the video:

- "Did it really work?" → shown, uncut trials plus a labeled failure in the video.
