Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official IROS template?

Our template is based on the official IEEE conference style file used by IROS and produces identical output. We update it each year when new requirements are released.

Can I use Typst instead of LaTeX for IROS?

Yes! Our Typst template produces the same IEEE-formatted output as LaTeX. IROS accepts PDF submissions regardless of the source format used to generate them.

What exactly is the 6+1 page format?

Your main content (text, figures, tables) must fit within 6 pages. You get 1 additional page that can only contain references. No exceptions are made for appendices.

Do I need to submit a video with my IROS paper?

Videos are optional but strongly encouraged for robotics papers. They help reviewers evaluate hardware experiments and simulations. Check the conference website for format requirements.

Can my co-authors edit the document simultaneously?

Yes! Invite unlimited collaborators. Everyone can edit simultaneously with real-time sync, perfect for distributed robotics research teams.
