Week 6: Paper Formatting and Notation

Working on the Published Paper

This week, my focus was on preparing the final draft of the paper my team had been working on, titled “‘Scrape That Barnacle’: Commanding Underwater Robot In-Contact Manipulation Tasks with Intuitive Spatial-Temporal-Force Features”. The paper, co-authored by Ramya Challa, Hunter Brown, Chirag Jain, Zachary Speiser, and Heather Knight, is now published, and I was responsible for ensuring that the formatting followed the IEEE standards. This involved meticulous attention to detail to ensure that every section adhered to the formatting guidelines required for publication.

Notation Work

In addition to the formatting, I worked on the notation used in the paper, ensuring consistency and clarity throughout the document. Proper notation is essential for effectively communicating our research, especially in a technical paper. This was a crucial step in making sure our results and methodology were presented accurately.

First Published Paper

An exciting personal milestone—this is the first published paper with my name on it! I’m thrilled to have been part of such a significant achievement with my team.

The paper is now available for download here: Scrape That Barnacle (PDF).
