In recent decades the fields have diverged in terms of conferences and journals, research methodology and research rate. From a robotics perspective it seems that computer vision is in the fast lane while robotics is stuck in the slow lane. Roboticists hold a fundamental belief in the importance of experimentation but could it be that experiments are actually holding us back? Or is it that we are doing experiments poorly?en© 2022 The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AGRobotics; Computer vision; Research methodologyConference paper10.1007/978-3-030-95459-8_612023-03-22599090Dayoub, F.
