About
Santiago Fauda is a researcher focused on the intersection of open-source hardware and industrial automation. His work centers on democratizing advanced manufacturing technologies, particularly through the retrofitting of industrial robots. His most notable contribution, "Robot Retrofitting by Using LinuxCNC Complemented with Arduino/RaspberryPI" (2020), demonstrates a cost-effective method for revitalizing legacy robotic systems by combining the powerful LinuxCNC motion controller with accessible, low-cost microcontrollers like Arduino and single-board computers like Raspberry Pi. This approach makes precision robotics more attainable for small workshops, educational institutions, and research labs with limited budgets. While his citation count is currently modest, his work represents a significant practical step in the open-source robotics movement, providing a clear, replicable blueprint for extending the life of industrial equipment. Fauda’s research is particularly valuable for engineers and hobbyists seeking to bridge the gap between proprietary, expensive control systems and flexible, community-driven alternatives, embodying a hands-on, resourceful approach to modern manufacturing challenges.
