About

Marcin Fojcik is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of industrial automation, wireless communication, and engineering education. His primary research areas include autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) for smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0 technologies, and project-based learning in electrical engineering. Fojcik’s most influential contribution is his 2020 paper “Autonomous Guided Vehicles for Smart Industries – The State-of-the-Art and Research Challenges,” which has garnered 38 citations and provides a comprehensive overview of AGV technologies critical to modern factories. He further explores the practical deployment of these systems in his 2022 case study evaluating wireless communication protocols for AGVs in Industry 4.0 environments, a work that addresses the need for flexible, movable production nodes. Beyond industrial applications, Fojcik has made notable contributions to pedagogy, as seen in his 2015 paper on integrating robotic arm manipulators with computer vision in a project-based learning environment. This work, which describes a robot capable of playing tic-tac-toe, demonstrates his commitment to hands-on, student-centered education at Sogn og Fjordane University College in Norway. With a career spanning both technical innovation and educational practice, Fojcik’s research continues to shape the future of smart manufacturing and engineering training.
