About
Patrick G. McBride is a leading researcher in industrial automation and smart manufacturing, with a primary focus on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). His seminal review, "A Review of Recent Advances in Automated Guided Vehicle Technologies: Integration Challenges and Research Areas for 5G-Based Smart Manufacturing Applications" (2020, 255 citations), has become a cornerstone reference in the field. This work systematically analyzes decades of AGV evolution, highlighting critical integration challenges and charting a roadmap for next-generation systems powered by 5G connectivity. McBride’s contributions are particularly valued for bridging the gap between theoretical advances and practical deployment, offering system integrators clear guidance on selecting and implementing improved AGV solutions for intralogistics and material handling. His research has significantly shaped how industries approach automation in complex manufacturing environments, earning him recognition as a key authority on the intersection of mobile robotics and communication technologies.
