corl-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a project belongs at CoRL, the Conference on Robot Learning, or should be routed to ICRA, IROS, RSS, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, or a journal — based on whether the learned component is the contribution, what embodied evidence exists, and which reviewer community should judge the claim.

# CoRL Topic Selection
CoRL sits at a deliberate intersection: it was founded in 2017 precisely because
learning-centric robotics papers were being squeezed between robotics conferences
that undervalued the learning and ML conferences that undervalued the robot. Routing
to CoRL is therefore a two-axis decision, and a project must score on **both** axes
to belong here.
## The two-axis test
Ask the two questions separately and honestly:
1. **Is learning the contribution?** If you replaced the learned policy, model, or
representation with a hand-engineered module and the paper's story survived, the
