Thesis Title: “Testing Machine for Transtibial and Transfemoral Prosthesis”
Abstract
The objective of this work is to build a testing machine for prosthesis. The machine should be able to reproduce the same dynamic and kinematics conditions applied on the prosthesis during the normal use.
Numbers of amputation and causes of amputation were collected. Different types of prosthesis were classified according to the leg prosthesis per amputation height, passive and active prosthesis, differentiated by the nature of their actuator. Most of the testing machine for the prosthesis were studied form the technological and capability prospective. Determining all the limitations of most of existing testing machines, and the needs to develop a new machine to full fill these needs were developed.
Then we studied and analyzed the dynamics of the human gait and run. The equations of motion by taking into consideration the masses and moments of inertia of skeletal segments. Most of the parameters of gait were extracted. In conclusion, we have the kinematic requirements of the human center of gravity to generate 6 DOF that the testing machine should carry out to emulate the normal human gait and run.
Three designs were proposed to implement the testing machine; Articulated robot arm, Cartesian manipulator, and Stewart Platform (SP). After implementing the three solutions we found the most suitable solution is the SP attached with it an artificial active hip. We have chosen the hydraulic power as it is the most suitable actuation technique for our solution knowing the required actuation forces.
To help in controlling the SP motion, a novel Closed-form solution of direct Geometric model for planer and 6-6 Stewart Platform using the rotary sensors instead of liner sensors as wanted to the hydraulic actuators was developed. Sensitivity analysis was studied for that solution, and analytical calculation for computing the workspace was also developed.
The conclusion from this testing machine is that we can create all the dynamics of the human body, i.e. walking or running or going up and down stairs. The developed solution can carry testing procedures for either passive or active prothesis

Thesis Title: “Embedded System Architecture of Mobile Electronic Arabic Braille Panel for Reciting the Holly Qur’an (Rasm Al-’Uthmani)”
Abstract
This thesis concerns with reorganizing new Braille symbols to represent all the diacritics in the Arabic Quran, the aim of this study is building a system that translates the Quran verses to Qur’anic code, then extracting all similar patterns of variable lengths using enhanced (Lempel, Ziv, and Welch) LZW data Compression technique, creating an embedded search engine based on microcontroller that enable the user to select the soura, ayah, goz’, hizb, page, or line to read. We will use the display control circuit due to complexity in showing sequence of Braille character, and (Multi Media Card) MMC card as a storage media. This embedded system can switch between Egyptian or Saudi Braille system.

Title: ” Controlling a Robot Arm Using Virtual Reality” (CRAUVR) “
CRAUVR Is Your Hand Everywhere
Abstract
I have participated in “Controlling a Robot Arm Using Virtual Reality” where we designed and executed robot control system and most of the virtual reality parts such that robot arm simulates exactly the movement of the human arm and with very high precision. This project has many applications and from the most important ones are the following: Removing the land mines from the western desert by controlling the robot arm remotely, where the user is in totally safe place, far away from any danger and controls the robot which will enter the mines fields to extracted without explosion. If any mine exploded suddenly as expected from an iron mine being exposed to the rain and to the hot of the desert sun from more than 50 years, it will explode in a cheap robot that costs 700 EGP. We can say that we saved human’s life or human who is possibly lose a part of his body with 700 EGP ONLY.
