About

Marlon F. Alcantara is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of mobile robotics and augmented reality, with a particular focus on the role of visual markers and barcodes in these fields. His most cited paper, "Enriched Barcodes applied in Mobile Robotics and Augmented Reality" (2015), serves as a foundational survey that bridges two rapidly evolving domains. In this work, Alcantara not only reviews existing applications of barcodes for automated data acquisition but also proposes the development of an enriched marker that could enhance both robotic navigation and AR experiences. While his citation count is modest, his contribution lies in identifying a critical gap: the need for a unified marker system that can serve dual purposes in localization and information overlay. This conceptual groundwork has the potential to streamline development in both fields, reducing the need for separate tracking solutions. Alcantara’s work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring low-cost, scalable solutions for integrating physical and digital environments, offering a clear roadmap for future innovation in marker-based interaction systems.
