About

Gustavo De Barros is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, industrial automation, and advanced wireless communications. His work focuses on the performance evaluation and connectivity of autonomous systems in manufacturing environments. De Barros made a major contribution by adapting established industrial robot testing standards—specifically ISO 9283—for the measurement of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), enabling rigorous, user-relevant performance criteria such as path accuracy, pose accuracy, and position overshoot to be applied to drones for industrial use. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered 5 citations, signaling its foundational importance. In parallel, De Barros has investigated the critical role of 5G handover in autonomous mobile robot (AMR) applications, comparing it to traditional Wi-Fi to assess reliability and latency in dynamic factory settings. His 2023 paper on this topic, with 4 citations, addresses a key bottleneck in wireless industrial automation. By bridging the gap between robotic performance metrics and next-generation connectivity, De Barros is helping to define the technical standards for the smart factories of the future.
