Use when writing or revising a CoRL paper's prose — leading with the embodied task and the learned component, calibrating claims to evaluation scale, writing the mandatory Limitations section as a scored asset, fitting the argument into 8 pages, and satisfying a dual reviewer audience of ML and robotics readers.

# CoRL Writing Style

A CoRL paper is read by two audiences at once: reviewers fluent in learning
methods who will probe the algorithmic claim, and reviewers fluent in robots who
will probe the physical claim. Prose that serves only one of them loses the
other's score. The style guidance here is about keeping both readers oriented
inside 8 pages — with a mandatory Limitations section spending part of that
budget (CoRL 2026 instructions, corl.org, read 2026-07-08).
