About

Rangel Arthur is a researcher whose work spans the critical intersection of industrial automation, embedded systems, and intelligent inspection technologies. His primary research areas include automatic optical inspection for printed circuit boards, remote monitoring and control systems, and microcontroller-based robotics. Arthur’s most influential contribution is his comprehensive survey on automatic inspection for PCB analysis (2022, 7 citations), which provides a foundational overview of machine vision and defect detection methodologies essential for modern electronics manufacturing. He also made early contributions to remote instrumentation, demonstrated in his work on SMS-based supervision and control using LabVIEW (2011, 7 citations), which anticipated the rise of IoT and telemetry systems. In robotics, Arthur developed a low-cost robotic arm controller using a PIC18F4550 microcontroller and DC motors (2019, 6 citations), offering an accessible, didactic platform for engineering education. His recent overview of the Industrial Internet of Things (2024) further underscores his engagement with cutting-edge industrial paradigms. Arthur’s work is particularly valued for its practical, educational focus, bridging theoretical concepts with real-world, low-cost implementations that empower students and practitioners in automation and control.
