STEMbot Paper Website

Project website for “STEMbot: A Compliant Robot for Under-Canopy Plant Navigation,” accepted to IROS 2026.

The site is a static single-page publication website built with HTML, CSS, vanilla JavaScript, and Bulma's layout utilities.

Local Preview

Serve the repository root over HTTP:

python -m http.server 8000

Then open http://localhost:8000.

Media Build

Author-provided source files live locally in:

• static/new_images/
• static/new_videos/
• static/paper/

These folders are intentionally ignored by Git. Generate the committed, browser-ready media set with:

./scripts/build_media.sh

The script requires FFmpeg, FFprobe, and ImageMagick. It writes optimized figures, images, posters, H.264 videos, and the paper PDF to static/media/.

Publication TODOs

• Add approved funding and acknowledgment language.
• Replace the local presentation video link when the YouTube upload is ready.
• Activate the arXiv link after public release.
• Replace the provisional BibTeX entry with final proceedings metadata.

Code

The public code release is available at UM-ARM-Lab/stembot.
