How Technical and Strict taxonomies differ
Technical
Method-first axis tuned for the iSpaRo dataset. When a paper's title exposes a clearer technical method (e.g. Manipulation, SLAM, Reinforcement Learning), it's routed there instead of being absorbed by a generic Space Robotics bucket.
Top phylum here is Planning ยท 23.4% โ distribution stays balanced across 14 phyla.
Strict
Faithful reproduction of robotics-paper-phylogeny's original classify.py priority rules. Useful for cross-comparing iSpaRo against the canonical T-RO / IJRR / RSS phylogeny site.
For iSpaRo this concentrates ~46% of papers into Application Domains > Space Robotics, since iSpaRo itself is a space-robotics venue.
Both axes share the same
Phylum / Class / Order vocabulary inherited from robotics-paper-phylogeny. Underlying paper metadata is sourced from RoboPaper Atlas (DBLP + OpenAlex). Citation counts are a snapshot โ updated each build (current: 2026-05-09).
