Dr. MASOUD A

A Visually-Servoed Toy  Car

Visual servoing is a procedure that uses feedback information extracted from a vision sensor to control the motion of a robot. The purpose of the project is to build a visual servo link. The robot will be a simple toy car and the visual sensor will be a cheap webcam. Matlab will be used for processing of the sensor data and command generation. The main task will be:
1- online capturing of image stream from the webcam using matlab
2- processing the image in order to know the location of the car on the image
3- using matlab to register a mouse determined location on the image
4- Matlab commands are sent outside the computer through the RS-232 interface
5- The remote control of the wireless to car will be interfaced to the RS-232
The overall system will work as follows: The webcam will have a top view of the car. The user will select a point where the car should move to. The matlab program will drive the car to the selected point.
Requirements: good knowledge of matlab, reasonable math skills, good ability to work with electronics interface.

Special Event Car Park Access Control and Management

Design and implementation of a system that recognizes car stickers or card issued for  conference, workshop, or graduation ceremony attendee or any special event where we get guests who do not have the ID to access the parkings. The system should use a simple camera and software to read numbers and recognize shapes. Additional functionality can be added as extensions.     
Pre-request: Programming skills and image processing fundamentals (EE410)

Dr. AL-ZAHER H

Medicine Dosage Dispenser  

Description: The objective of this project is to develop an electronic system to help a patient tracking the medicine dosage correctly according to a designated pre-scheduled timetable. The purpose of the project is to expose students to the design and implementation of a practical electronics network. The student will need to understand the problem and develop a way for its realization. Hardware implementation is needed to support the theory of the project.
Design Content: Developing the system requires analog/digital electronics circuit designs. Building blocks such as timers, counters, registers, as well as switching, interfacing and displaying components will be designed and assembled to achieve the required specifications. Up to 8 different medicines can be served. Sound system is supposed to be utilized as an additional feature. The design can be further extended to accommodate two patient’s needs. These elements will be controlled by a microcontroller.
Components and parts:  (a) microcontroller (b) a breadboard “PBC” (c) timers (d) counters (e) resistors and capacitors (f) display screen (g) registers (h) digital gates.
Number of students: Four.
Pre-request: EE-390 “C” , Recommendation:  students interested in the area of electronics and microcontroller.

Design and Implementation of a Smart Home System

The Smart Home is a home automation system that allows for control over a home’s environmental, security, and media systems from a centralized network core with an easily accessible user interface. The environmental system can control the house’s lighting and temperature. The security system will constantly monitor for break-ins through windows and doors and give the user remote control over door locks. The media system will let users stream music from their computer or iPod to multiple zones throughout the house.  The integration of these everyday systems will give the average homeowner the control they desire within their home.
In this project, a smart home system will be designed and implemented.
The following steps will be carried out.
1. Design of different sensors conditioning circuits.
2. Design Microcontroller (PLC) programs to receive the control from the user and sensors and operate the proper appliances.
3. Design the user command interface.
4. Integrate the whole system.
5. Examining the performance of the designed system.

Design of an inductance meter

The inductance meter is a device that can be used to measure the unknown inductance of an inductor or a simple coil. In this project, the students will design and develop a circuit for measuring the inductance incorporating a microcontroller board. This project makes use of the resonance frequency of a tank circuit, in which there will be a capacitor and an unknown inductance connected in parallel. The natural resonating frequency of the tank circuit varies with the value of the inductor connected. The frequency is measured and the value of inductance is calculated and displayed.
