Guidelines for Generative AI Usage


l Generative AI tools and technologies, such as ChatGPT, may not be listed as authors of a paper submitted to IROS 2025. The use of content generated by AI in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) must be disclosed in the acknowledgments section. The AI system used must be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content should be specified and accompanied by brief explanation regarding the manner in which the AI system was used to generate the content. The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy.


l Information or content contained in or about a manuscript under review shall not be processed through an AI system. Doing so is considered a breach of confidentiality and as such is not permitted.


l More information on generative AI usage can be found at the IEEE RAS publication website.
