RSS trials two-stage submissions with signed reviews; negative results not grounds for rejection
animesh_garg · x · 2026-09-29
Animesh Garg highlights a new experiment at RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems): two-stage submissions (a 6-page extended abstract first, complete experiments not required) plus signed reviews — accepted papers will publicly disclose reviewer and chair identities. Negative experimental results are explicitly not grounds for rejection. He notes this resembles ISRR's model from 10+ years ago and that signed reviews are a big commitment with potential unintentional dynamics.
