Papers

Note

• Use ArXiv links to ensure that the papers are accessible to everyone.
• Cite the BibTeX pointing to the journal or conference rather than ArXiv.
• Follow the Google Scholar BibTeX format and double-check the information as it may be incorrect.
• Use 4 spaces for Markdown indentation.

Tip

• Please avoid including the organization and publisher items in the citation, as well as any duplicated information. For instance, please remove organization={Citeseer} or publisher={IEEE} from the citation. Additionally, please delete the duplicated information such as the 2021 in booktitle={2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)}, since there is a dedicated year entry.
• It would be helpful to include the conference or journal name initials. For example, please add (RSS) to the end of booktitle={Robotics: Science and Systems}.
