RA-L终稿意见修改

终稿提交时要做的事情：

Final Submission Checklist - IEEE Robotics and Automation Society

这里有坑啊初稿提交PDF大小限制是10MB

现在终稿PDF大小限制5MB （要求优先使用矢量图而不是位图）

源文件zip限制10MB

照片压缩网站（人类之光！）

TinyPNG -- Compress AVIF, WebP, PNG and JPEG images

对于数据和曲线图最好生成的时候就生成pdf 因为如果png 转成pdf在缩放时还会糊

矢量图编辑和转换（可以转pdf）

About | Inkscape

终稿格式修改：

Information for Authors - IEEE Robotics and Automation Society

要把稿件修改成ready to publish 的版本比如从会议模板改为期刊模板，加入作者信息（不包括作者的生平简介或照片），关键词，致谢，首字母大写，页眉页脚等等

关于论文中引用图片的版权许可：

严格的讲图片是要许可的

Avoid Infringement upon IEEE Copyright - IEEE Author Center Journals

可以方便的申请许可：IEEE - Requesting Permission to Reuse IEEE Material

所有IEEE出版物都受到了版权保护：IEEE - IEEE Intellectual Property Rights

而且审稿人有提到

复制代码

Verify image licensing for Figure 2, especially for images taken from
related work.

（但是这个许可在哪里说明呢？在哪里告诉别人我有了许可的？）

ORCID那个小绿圆圈应该是授权之后自动会加上的

Suggestions for Improvement:

复制代码

• Minor typographical errors should be corrected (e.g., “aireal” on
page 2, etc.).

有一个笔误等到通稿完成输入到deepseek里面看看能不能找到

把注释全删掉用语法软件查一下

复制代码

While the paper is generally clear and well-written, it could be made
more concise and visually effective. Please consider the following
points:

复制代码

• Combine Figures 3 and 4, and Figures 5, 6, and 11 into two
consolidated figures to reduce length and improve storytelling.
• Use opacity variations in Figure 1 to better illustrate movement or
flow.
• Verify image licensing for Figure 2, especially for images taken from
related work.
• Consider improving the overall storytelling and presentation flow,
particularly in the results and discussion sections.

Multimedia Attachment Evaluation
• Technical Quality:
Yes. To improve further, consider adding the modelling and design
explanation briefly and overlaying trajectory plots and energy
consumption graphs in the video for better correlation with the
analysis.

The authors have answered all of my concerns. It is recommended for
further publication.

Reviewer number 3 Review ID 419371

I have a small suggestion as to reduce the length of the multimedia material, ideally to 1-2 minutes.
To further increase the quality of the multimedia material, a short
introduction / motivation would be beneficial.

1. 视频最好缩短到1-2分钟以内

太长的视频可能会让审稿人或读者失去耐心。

🎯 建议你删掉一些重复或者不必要的片段，比如某些重复的测试演示、长时间无变化的画面。
2. 视频开头最好加一个简短的引导（introduction 或 motivation）

这能帮助观众理解你这个系统是做什么的，有什么意义。

🎯 比如可以用几秒钟的文字叠加："This work presents a ducted-fan UAV capable of both aerial and terrestrial locomotion..." 这种风格的简洁开场，或者录音讲一两句都行。

Further minor edits prior to publication are hereby included for
completeness:
- reduce the length of the multimedia material, ideally to 1-2 minutes.
视频缩短到1-2分钟
- to further increase the quality of the multimedia material, a short
introduction / motivation would be beneficial.
视频中加入introduction
- minor typographical errors should be corrected (e.g., “aireal” on
page 2, etc.)
检查拼写
- consider using opacity variations in Figure 1 to better illustrate
movement or flow 图1中用 opacity variations

Dear Dr. Hai-Long Pei,

I am pleased to inform you that your paper 

25-0823 
"SkateDuct: Utilizing Vector Thrust of Ducted Fan UAVs for
Terrestrial-Aerial Locomotion"
by Zhong Yin, Hai-Long Pei

has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Robotics and Automation
Letters (RA-L).

Please consult the RA-L  website
http://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/ra-l for instructions on how to
prepare and submit electronically the final version of the paper and
the material needed for publication. 

Notice that, to respect RA-L publication schedule, there is a STRICT
deadline of two weeks (14 DAYS) from today for you to submit the final
version, including any multimedia material and mandatory copyright
forms. Failure to meet this deadline might prevent publication of the
paper in RA-L. The deadline is at 11:59 pm Pacific Time on the date
specified.

In preparing the final version, please follow strictly the indications
provided by reviewers (if any) and AE. Failure to do so would lead to
delay in approval of the final version, and possibly to missing the
publication deadline of 180 days from submission, which fact could
eventually prevent publication. 

Thank you for your contribution to the Robotics and Automation Letters.


Sincerely,

Giuseppe Loianno
Editor (Aerial and Field Robotics)
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters

我们非常感谢审稿人和编辑的认可和意见，并且认真的做出了对应的修改

在终稿提交中，所有的格式以外的改动如下：

·All typographical errors is now corrected

·替换了图2中的（g）以满足版权上的要求（原图片来自其他出版社我们没有其版权）

·多媒体附件的视频长度缩减为了2分钟整，并加入了解释性文字，我们感觉观感好了很多

最终确认：
