Year: 2012
Supervisors: Dr. Amira Yassin
Dr. Abdelhameed F. Ibrahim
Abstract
Factories and workshops in Egypt lack the intelligence in their
machines and still depend on human, and this has bad effects
either on human, like having bad effects on their health that may
cause death, or on Productivity as problems in production, waste
for materials, and cost for each human worker.
All the previous problems lead to use robots with lower cost and
use artificial intelligence and vision system to avoid
reprogramming for each little change in the task.
The project serves in many places with many applications like
painting, welding, drawing, assembling and so on. Robotic arm
is used instead of human as it is more powerful, more accurate,
saves the materials, efficient in repetitive tasks, reduces the cost,
and that all lead to improve Productivity and quality of
production.
At the 1st step, a picture of the object to be painted is captured
using a camera in a fixed position. Some processing is done on
this picture and then, the picture is given an ID and both the
picture and its ID are stored in a database. After that, a new
process called learning begins. In this process, the object moves
until it reaches a position in front of our robotic arm. A joystick
is then used to control the robotic arm so that it can "paint" the
object totally. The movements of the arm robot are recorded and
stored in a database in the microcontroller memory and they are
given an ID similar to the ID that was given to the picture of the
object. This ends the learning process of our system on the
object.
When another object is produced to our system, a picture of it is
captured and compared with the picture of the objects stored in
the database. Here we have 2 cases:-
 The 1st case: When the comparison finds a match between
the objects In this case, the ID of the object in the database
is sent serially to our control system so that it can repeat the
recorded movements stored in the database in the
microcontroller.
 The 2nd case: When the comparison results in a no-match
situation (The new object is not in the stored database). In
this case, some processing is done on the picture of the new
object. This processing aims at dividing the picture into
groups (grouping) so that we can reach the required points
we need to fully cover the object in the painting process
.These points are then passed to the Inverse Kinematics
part. Inverse Kinematics here is used to find the
corresponding motor angles that are required to move the
arm robot to each point.
Project name: Human arm robotic simulator
Year: 2012
Supervisors: Dr. Mohammed Sherif
Dr. Abdelhameed F. Ibrahim
Abstract
Human arm robotic simulator project is a simulation system
depends on capturing the human arms movements via sensors
attached to his arms and interpret these movements into usable
data; then use these data in controlling a robotic arm in a way
that simulate the same human movements in more accurate way.
The capturing system depends on using sensor based on
calculating the three dimensions and the angle to locate
accurately the location of the node attached to the joint of the
human arm then sends the location information to the controller
to interpret the result in the real time.
The communication system is responsible for transmitting
information wirelessly from the capturing system -through a
controller to organize the operation- to the robotic arm.
A controller stands on the robotic arm receives the instructions
and interprets it into number of degrees to every motor on the
robotic arm joints and by that simulate the human arm
movements.
The human needs the power of the machines but does not need
to be replaced by it, so we are trying to compose a new system
that combine between the human and the machine to empower
the human not to replace him.
This project can be used at many fields and in many
applications, like war field, medical field, mines sweeping field,
save and rescue field, ROV field.
Project name: Smart wireless armed tank (SWAT)
Year: 2012
Supervisors: Dr. Abdelhameed F. Ibrahim
Abstract
Driving robots around a field of obstacles might look like fun.
But for soldiers in combat, those robots in war clearly hold
advantages from saving the lives of our own soldiers. Military
robots are meant to perform tasks that are simply too dull, dirty
and to operating in dangerous environments such as
mountainside and caves to warrant the risk of human life. It also
entertains the point that robots are “unaffected by the emotions,
adrenaline, and stress that cause soldiers to overreact or
deliberately overstep the Rules of Engagement and commit
atrocities.
Swat is robot can be used in battlefield, special mission and
exploring areas because it has the ability to track and hunt objects
based on image processing techniques.
• It can be controlled from large distant because its wireless
features.
• Because we have a camera on the robot, it has the ability to
track, hunt target and secure areas automatically or
manually as user need.
• In automatic mode the ability to track and hunt targets
based on image processing techniques and predefined data.
• In manual mode you can control robot by joystick or by
voice or by using smart phone (android) new way and so
interactive.
• Using a mobile device supports flexibility & the availability
to control & monitor the robot in various places not
restricted to a fixed one.
 • Using android as a platform is a plus as android is an open
source OS with less restrictions for developers.
To make it easy in use and control, we developed GUI application
using C# for desktop application or by using android for smart
phone. We used our high experience to make it easy for user to
control the robot either in manual (using joystick or voice or
mobile) or automatic mode (using image processing
techniques).In all GUI modes we have window to preview live
stream from camera.

Abstract
This project for implementing embedded control system that uses
machine vision techniques to recognize objects and its properties.
The system is designed to be fixed on a mobile arm robot, so that
the robot can recognize objects, and pick and place this objects.
Control system used computer system to give a powerful
processing speed, and allow to attach WNIC (Wireless Network
Interface Card) to the robot, and then the robot can be controlled
through the local network or the internet. And that extends the
robot working environment to the wireless network limits and
this is much larger than regular remote control methods such as
RF.
To interface the system to the environment, USB card must be
implemented, that will allow the communication with the control
 system with about 400 MByte/s and we will have a large number
of I/O lines from the motherboard buss system. We will use the
microcontroller technology PIC 18f4450 and that will allow the
card to have PWM output, UART communication lines, and A/D
converter. So, we will have a complete data acquisition system
that can be used for any computer system. System will be tested
on a mobile arm robot.

Project name: HUMATEC

Year: 2012
Supervisor: Dr. Abdelhameed F. Ibrahim
Abstract
Humanoid robotics hardware and control techniques have
advanced rapidly during the last five years. Presently, several
companies have announced the commercial availability of
various humanoid robot prototypes. In order to improve
autonomy and overall functionality of these robots, reliable
sensors, safety mechanisms, and general integrated software tools
and techniques are needed.
A humanoid robot or an anthropomorphic robot is a robot with
its overall appearance, based on that of the human body, allowing
interaction with environments. In general humanoid robots have
a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, although some forms
of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for
example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots may also
have a 'face', with 'eyes' and 'mouth'. Androids are humanoid
robots built to aesthetically resemble a human. Also a humanoid
can do motions similar to humans.
So, we try to develop and evaluate a new interactive humanoid
robot that communicates with humans and designed to participate
in human society.

Project name: Self-driving car with automatic night mode

system
Year: 2010
Supervisors: Dr. Fayez Gommaa
Dr. Sabry Saraya
Dr. Mohammed Sherif
Abstract
We -in these days-strongly need self-acting machines for difficult
and complicated systems and for sensitive, accurate and fast
environments, in this project we introduced a simple idea for how
we can build such systems.
To do a self-acting systems you have plenty of options, beginning
with doing actions based on substance detection in the
surrounding environment and ending with neural processing.
We here will do a simple thing depending on our lake of
resources which is doing actions depending on the feedback of a
sensing element and a micro controller for processing.
The IR-sensor will detect the objects in some range of distance,
we will make decisions at some distance and make the car drive
to avoid them, and this will be the objective of PIC micro-
controller and the program written on it.
The IR-sensor will provide the PIC with an analog voltage
corresponding to the distance from the object.
The PIC is a digital processing Micro-controller so we must
convert the analog input of the sensor into digital value for the
PIC to understand, this PIC contains an analog to converter
(ADC) embedded on it which will help us with this problem,
according to the converted voltage we will make the car goes
forward, backward, right or left, slowing down or speeding up so
that the car be able to avoid obstacles.
The PIC will provide control signals to control the motor
directions and speed.
Project name: Fire detection and suppression using robot via
mobile device
Year: 2010
Supervisor: Dr. Ali Ibrahim El-Desoky
Dr. Hesham Arafat Ali
Abstract
The project main idea is to remotely control a moving robot,
using mobile device supported by a web application via SMS
gateway technology. Also we attached a wireless camera to the
robot that enables us to capture, compare, stop & finally make
specific action. And also we can attach a fire fighting to detect
(fire extinguishers +smoke detector) system and suppress any fire
in the surrounding environment.
The robot can monitor the surrounding environment through the
remote access on a web site for security purpose. Also used for
fire detection and suppression, using a mobile device or
telephone, laptop, or either pc.
We can manually control the robot through PC-keyboard; can
capture photos either by pc or mobile device. User is able to track
something through a live-video, can calculate the area size
through reaching the place boundaries; can inform the user by the
presence of fire by sending SMS to their mobile, can detect the
place of the fire, can also suppress the fire.
The output circuit has a general design; it's not designed specially
to this project, so it can be used to control any other object.
This project is by the presence of reliability; as we have an input
and output circuits to deal with the PC not directly connected.
The low cost of the project, make it available for anyone.
Project name: Controlling a moving object
Year: 2009
Supervisor: Dr. Ali Ibrahim El-Desoky
Dr. Hesham Arafat Ali
Abstract

using either fixed phone or mobile supported with position
acknowledgement via SMS gateway technology and, also we can
attach a wireless camera to the moving object that enables us to
capture, compare, stop and finally make a specific action on the
color had been detected.
Main objectives of the project:
 Gain full control on a moving object remotely.

Project name: Automatic incubator

Year: 2008
Supervisor: Dr. Amira Yassin
Abstract:
Premature birth is a worldwide problem. Neonates, who are born
premature, often don't have enough maturity to regulate their
temperature.
These infants have law metabolic heat production rate and may
have high heat loss from the skin. Premature infants are kept in
infant incubators which provide convective heating.
There are two kinds of techniques available to control the
incubator temperature.
Currently either the incubator air temperature is sensed and used
to control the heat flow, or infant's skin temperature is sensed and
used in the close loop control.
Skin control often leads to large fluctuations in the incubator air
temperature. Air control also leads to skin temperature
fluctuation. The question remains if both the skin temperature
and the air temperature can be simultaneously used in the control.
The purpose of the present study was to address this question by
developing a fuzzy logic control which incorporates both
incubator air temperature and infant's skin temperature.
The temperature space was divided into a number of sub-
domains. The crisp values of skin and air temperature were first
justified to obtain membership values which were then input to a
rule base to obtain the output.
This output was defuzzied to obtain a crisp value for the heat flow
parameter. This fuzzy logic control system was evaluated using a
mathematical model of the infant incubator system (Simon,
reddy, and kantak, 1994). Simulation results revealed that fuzzy
logic system, incorporating both skin and air temperature,
provide a smooth control when compared to either the air or skin
control.

Project name: Monitoring and controlling trains' movement

Year: 2010
Supervisors: Dr. Fayez Gommaa
Dr. Sabry Saraya
Dr. Mohammed Sherif
Abstract
When there are two trains on the same track, if the first train
stopped suddenly for any reason the second train must be slow
down or stop according to the signal which it received from the
check points on the whole track to avoid accident.
This thought was born by a disaster.
The 2009 Cairo train collision killed at least 50 people and
injured 30 others on 24 October 2009.
One of the trains was going southward to visit Asyut and Aswan,
popular tourist destinations.
A second train slammed into the first, which had stopped to allow
an animal described by various witnesses and officials as either a
cow or a water buffalo, to make its way safely across.
So, this idea will avoid these train accident from happening.

Abstract
Human have been using physical characteristics such as face,
voice, gait, etc. to recognize each other for thousands of years.
With new advances in technology, biometrics has become an
emerging technology for recognizing individuals using their
biological traits.
Now, biometrics is becoming part of day to day life, where a
person is recognized by his/her personal biological
characteristics. Examples of different biometric systems include
fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition, retina
recognition, hand geometry, voice recognition, and signature
recognition, among others. Face recognition, in particular has
received a considerable attention in recent years both from the
industry and the research community.
So, the objective of this project is to create a c# code that can be
used to identify people using their face images.

Abstract
Because of Problems with currently (traditional) parking such
that:
1- Hard to find proper space to park cars.
 2- Take long time to find proper space & this space may
be too far away from the place that the person lies onto.
3- Problems occur for cars when they are parked in second
row.

So, the ides is how to use a small space of area usefully to make
smart park system that park cars automatically in several units.

 The car will stopped on the stand by floor and automatically

by arm of clerk using robot system, it will be raised to the
specific place specified by user.
 When the car stopped on standby floor, the card machine
read the card ID and send to computer.
 Computer search via DB and detect if card ID isn't
available, microcontroller will send signal to buzzer.
 Else, microcontroller move the clerk towards the stand by
floor.
 The security system will check that the arm is down and on
the last of clerk by using limit switches that will send
signals to microcontroller that all right.
 The microcontroller send command to move the arm up,
then raise the car and get out from the level 0.
 The car will be raised by the arm using powerful motor to
specific level.
 The arm put the car on that level.
 Finally, microcontroller send a signal to motor of the arm
to get down and the clerk goes to its initial place.

Project name: Real time object tracking

Year: 2010
Supervisor: Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim Saleh
Abstract
Is how to handle a video stream either live video or recorded
video, and how to obtain a useful data from it such as how to
calculate a moving object speed, dedicate a specified object, and
draw a diagram to show the behavior of the object. There are two
fields of object tracking:
 Static object tracking:
The static means that the video stream tracked through a
fixed camera, and hence the available space (range) will not
be varieties as the camera will not move then the frame
taken will be with constant polarities (Dimensions).
EX: the radar system used in traffic signs.
 Dynamic object tracking:
The dynamic means that the video stream tracked through
a moving camera may be carried out over a robot; in this
type the polarities (range) will be varieties.
EX: the football player's statistics such as the distance
which each player runs.

Project name: Seawater desalination using solar energy

Year: 2010
Supervisor: Dr. Sabry Saraya
Abstract
The origin and continuation of mankind is based on water. Water
is one of the most abundant resources on earth, covering three-
fourths of the planet's surface. However, about 97% of the earth's
water is salt water in the oceans, and a tiny 3% is fresh water.
This small percentage of the earth's water which supplies most of
human and animal needs exists in ground water, lakes and rivers.
The only nearly inexhaustible sources of water are the oceans,
which are of high salinity. It would be feasible to address the
water shortage problem with seawater desalination; however, the
separation of salts from seawater requires large amounts of
energy which, when produced from fossil fuels, can cause harm
to the environment. Therefore, there is a need to employ
environmentally friendly energy sources in order to desalinate
seawater.
Process is, the solar energy heats airflow up to a temperature
between 50 and 80 0C. The moderate solar heated air will be
humidified by injecting seawater into the air stream. Later on, the
water being free of salt will be extracted from the humid air by
cooling it.
Using air as a heat carrier and keeping the maximum operating
temperature in the process lower than 80 0C enable the use of cost
effective polymers as construction material. The main feature of
the present process is a successive loading of air with vapor up to
a relative high humidity, such as 10 or 15 %.

Project name: Smart electronic mall

Abstract
Project allow mall to provide high services for its visitors through
latest technologies as following:-
1- Parking
People who come to mall by car, they need a wide parking
for their cars.
They use an electronic semaphore which open when it sense
that the car is coming.
While the parking is full semaphore will not open to the
coming car until some cars out.
2- E-Map
Now, the visitor is inside the mall and it can be its first visit
to mall, so he needs a guide.
The guide must be electronic, so we develop traditional map
to be easier for visitors to know his direction.
3- Selection path
When a visitor wants to go to more than one place in mall
but he doesn't want to waste his time because he busy, he
just choose places (shops) and we can arrange them
according to the shortest path.
4- Fire alarm
When any unpredictable fire broken out so, an alarm is
needed to warm visitors to go out from mall.
5- UPS(uninterruptable power supply)
A device which maintains a continuous supply of
electronic power to connected equipment by supplying
power from a separate source when utility power is not
 available. It differs from an auxiliary power supply or
standby generator, which doesn't provide instant
protection from interruption. Integrated systems that have
UPS and standby generator components are often referred
to as emergency power systems.
6- Invitation message(using GSM)
Visitors received messages on their mobile phone send by mall
GSM which contain shop's invitation, offers, sales, new versions
…… etc.

technologies are carefully used to provide a unified professional
interface for those complicated low level services managed by
the daemon enriched with detailed graphs and diagrams.

Project name: Modular GPS platform

Year: 2010
Supervisor: Dr. Mohammed sherif
Abstract
One of the useful technologies that can serve in many
applications is the GPS technology. GPS devices can be used in
vehicles, navigation, civil engineering applications, tracking,
military application …. etc. But, yet there is no GPS solution that
can be modular enough to work with any application. This project
aims to introduce a GPS device that can be easily tweaked and
integrated with any application (in both software and hardware
aspects)
The problem is there is no product that supports modularity in
GPS applications from either the software or the hardware points
of view (except a primitive Bluetooth-connected GPS receiver
provided by some companies.)
MGP is a GPS platform that will be able to interface with any
computer-based device with just a little configuration. The
project should be modular and easy to be customized with easy
to use graphical user interface. That consists of:-
1- Modular
Modular GPS platform will make it easy to integrate
multiple GPS-dependent services such as navigation, audio
 tours, in case of emergency services on a single platform in
a modular way so, you can add whatever service you need
any time you want.
2- GPS
The global positioning system (GPS) is a space based
global navigation satellite system that provide reliable
location and time information in all weather and at all times
and anywhere on or near the earth when and where there is
an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
3- Platform
Typical platforms include a computer's architecture,
operating system, programming languages and related user
interface (runtime libraries or graphical user interface).

Project name: Color imaging system for machine vision

applications
Year: 2012
Supervisor: Dr. Abdelhameed F. Ibrahim
Abstract
Invariant representations of color images to shadows and
highlights were proposed in several ways. These invariant
methods play an important role in many applications of computer
vision and image analysis. The performance of the invariant
method was examined in experiments using real world metal
object of copper and dielectric objects of plastic and ceramic. In
this project, we develop invariant method for a variety of
materials including various metallic objects of gold, silver,
bronze, two kinds of brass and aluminum. The effectiveness of
the proposed method for a variety of metals and dielectrics are
examined in experiments for real images of various objects and a
part of raw printed circuit board (PCB). Here we measured the
illumination color by using the imaging system and a standard
white reference.

Project name: Deaf to blind interpreter

Year: 2012

Abstract
There is no doubt that everyone in the community is of particular
importance and should be considered a different perspective and
every individual in society has his own talents, which should
benefit from them and put them in mind so it was imperative for
us in the project have to think to solve the problem and realistic
found in our society and needs to solve that problem, which may
help in the development and progress.
Individuals can communicate in the community and benefit from
the expertise that they awn and the search for new experiences
and the world has become now already open for those who want
to gain experience in all areas.
The problem is when people with a disability or audio-visual in
their interaction with the community, but they may reach seven
million disabled people with different type of disability.
Smart phone are now affordable to everyone can use and easily
allows many more features.
We decided in our project shed light on the techniques of modern
technology in smart phones, which have been able to contribute
but little in the renaissance of our nation, Take advantage of the
potential in young people are healthy they are or disabled all of
them have the right to do so, but they lack a way to continue and
aware of and understand each other.
And smart translator included as an applications smart phones
"human being" widespread will help the deaf to communicate
with those around him translate the sign language which he
understands and speaks to the text of my book and then to voice
he hears the other party, who try to understand what he wants
without the need for a person interpreter which may give him
more confidence and be able to communicate normally , and so
even if the other party does not see the movement of blind
reference will not be a problem because he already hears what he
wants to say.
And the blind also not lose sight of the thinking in a way to help
him if he needed to communicate with each other is deaf, the
interpreter intelligent "human being" will transform his voice to
the deaf sign language watch phone using the intelligent is
understood unless he hears it.
In condition; hope after the competition stages of the
implementation of this application, "person" to be in the
possibility of every individual in society, the Arab use and benefit
from it and we have shared the contribution of even simple in the
renaissance of our society, Egyptian, Arab and provide some
scientific solutions to the problems of our reality and we all face
a lot.

Abstract
This project aim to develop some vb.net applications that used in
e-learning which consist of two program one for the student and
the other for the teacher.
Student program, let the student to write and draw in one
application so we can say that we collect the benefits of drawing
applications and word processing applications in one application,
the student can use this application by answering the exam by
writing and drawing with all tools needed such eraser, pin, colors,
font size, font type and hand writing recognition.
The program has a good advantage that let user write with his
hand by the pen and the program automatic recognize his writing
and let him to insert it in the file, by a small window appear to let
him enter text by hand writing.
After the student complete answering the exam we let him to save
his answer and then send it to the teacher over the network.
Teacher application, to some extent like the student application
but it has additional component a remote server that allow the
students to send their answers on the local computer of the
teacher with a folder for each student with his name so, teacher
can show the answer and also save the final modification on the
file.
Project name: Building PC Remote control based wireless
technology
Year: 2010
Supervisor: Prof. Hesham Arafat Ali
Dr. Mohammed Sherif
Abstract
This project introduces a wireless remote system for controlling
personal computer. The control system enables any user even
with special needs to easy handling the computer within an area
of 300 meter using a small wireless antenna. The system is
composed of software and hardware components.
The aim of the project:
1. It is useful for helping handicapped to control (use) the
computer without the need to move to it.
2. It also need in meetings, discussions and lectures which use
the power point.
3. It allows you to play music and videos and control most
actions in your computer from a remote space.
4. Help user who can't use the computer by using specific
buttons.
5. Making the use of the computer easier for every one by
using the remote control.
In this project we have to search for address of each key in the
keyboard of the computer. And find a way to send these addresses
to the CPU.
We need to handle the process need and send signal directly
without devices.
Project name: A WEB-Based Student's Affairs System
Year: 2011
Supervisor: Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim Saleh
Abstract
Student affairs job is to provide the students with their lectures
schedules, exams schedules and their results. This information
can't be accessed easily by the students and it will take a lot of
time when it is done on paper. Also if any sudden changes are
required in the schedules it would be hard to notify students
because the need to go to their faculty in order to know if any
changes happened. Also accessing the student result requires
students to go to the faculty and also it would be a time
consuming process for the employee to access the result of a
student from all the paper work in front of them.
Our approach is to use information technology to provide the
solution for the mentioned problem. Creating a database on the
internet that contains all student personal information, lectures
schedules, exam schedule and their results. All of this
information can be accessed from any place in the world.
This method provides a fast access to students and teachers and
better accesses to students with disabilities. Also it preserves the
information in a database that can be accessed in a very fast rate
and there will be no need to paper records which can be damaged
easily this methods helps in preserving information. On the other
hand this method provides authentic and up to date information.
