|
On Tuesday (12/3/2024), the Control and Systems Engineering Department organized a scientific visit to the General Company for Electronic Systems, which is one of the formations of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals. This scientific visit was organized for the students of the third stage of the Mechatronics and Robotics branch of the department, and it was under the supervision of our department staff, including (Asst. Prof. Dr. Zeena Khalil Abd Al-Ameer, Asst. Prof. Dr. Mona Mohammed Jawad, Lect. Dr. Qamar Qasim Mohammed, and Engineers’ Chief Omer Farhan). The visit included valuable and comprehensive theoretical lectures and a practical explanation of the devices and tools used for practical applications. The supervisors of the scientific visit extended all thanks and gratitude to the company’s laboratory management and all its employees for their efforts made to facilitate this visit. |

The Control and Systems Engineering Department Awards a Doctorate Degree in Control Engineering
The Control and Systems Engineering Department Awards a Doctorate Degree in Control Engineering
The postgraduate doctoral student (Nasser Ahmed Felfel) from the Control and Systems Engineering Department received a doctorate degree in (Control Engineering) for his thesis entitled (Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Exoskeleton System).
The discussion was held on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, in the discussion Hall (Hall No. 9) in the department, and the discussion committee consisted ofProf:
1- Prof. Dr. Shibly Ahmed Hameed / Chairman
2- Prof. Dr. Safanah Mudheher Raafat / Member
3- Prof. Dr. Abdul Rahim Dhiyab Hammoud / Member
4- Prof. Dr. Saleem Khalefa Kadhim / Member
5- Asst. Prof. Dr. Iyad Qasim Hussein / Member
6- Prof. Dr. Amjad Jaleel Humaidi / Member and Supervisor
The students' thesis aims to propose and validate a robust control approach for lower extremity orthoses. This orthosis has been studied to aid knee flexion/extension movements for people with knee joint deficiency. In the proposed knee evaluation model, the disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technique was employed. ADRC is an emerging control technology that has the ability to reject all internal and external disturbances that occur during knee flexion and extension. In addition, this prosthesis has been utilized to help individuals who have difficulties standing and walking by incorporating a dual-degree-of-freedom model. Different linear and non-linear control approaches were considered, such as fractional control, sliding mode control, and proportional derivative control. A set of new strategies were proposed to improve the performance of the proposed controller in terms of modifying its structure and enhancing its performance. Several scenarios were used to analyze performance and different types of external influences after exposing the external structure to a medical trace signal. The results showed the quality of the controller’s performance in terms of removing the disturbances within the design specifications and the required torque. There was a significant reduction of 92 % in hip errors and 87% decrease in knee errors when using the root mean square error metric. Finally, the thesis concluded that the exoskeleton is capable of providing humans with the necessary assistance under different conditions. The defense was attended by the Assistant Head of the Department for Scientific Affairs and Postgraduate Studies (Prof. Dr. Abbas Hussein Issa) along with a group of professors in the department. On this occasion, we congratulate the student (Nasser Ahmed Felfel) and wish him success and prosperity.

On Sunday, 3/3/2024, the Legal Unit in the Control and Systems Engineering Department organized a seminar entitled (The Effect of Disciplinary Violation in Causing Corruption). This seminar was given by (Lect. Dr. Aliaa Abdel Ridha Abbas) from the Control and Systems Engineering Department and (Asst. Lect. Qutayba Taher Hussein) from the Applied Sciences Department. Corruption has been defined as a phenomenon that has become widespread in recent times as a result of accumulations experienced by society, a departure from religious motives, and a lack of values. It is misuse in various fields, lack of cooperation in applying laws and regulations, and maximizing personal interest over public interest. Finally, the lecturers pointed out the causes and types of corruption, and they stressed the necessity of cooperation in order to eliminate this phenomenon to build a successful society. |

The master’s thesis of the student (Heba Ali Ahmed), majoring in (Computer Engineering), was discussed on Sunday, 3/3/2024, in the discussion room (Hall No. 9) at the Control and Systems Engineering Department. The thesis title is “Intelligent Emergency Auto-car-stop System” The discussion committee consisted of: - Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ali Tawfiq / Chairman - Asst. Prof. Dr. Ikhlas Kadhum Hamza / Member - Lect. Dr. Qusay Fadhil Hassan / Member - Prof. Dr. Muayad Sadiq Crook / Member and Supervisor - Lect. Dr. Muhammad Abdullah Noman / Member and Supervisor This thesis presents an innovative and integrated approach to enhancing road safety by designing an intelligent system using deep learning that contains two convolutional neural networks, the first network is to recognize the driver’s face before starting to drive to allow only authorized drivers to continue driving, and the second network is to monitor the state of awareness of the authorized driver while driving to alert him/her in drowsiness cases, in addition to declaring an emergency state and automatically stopping the car if the driver does not respond to the audio alert. This research presents a powerful and effective system that combines facial recognition and drowsiness detection in real time to ensure the safety and attention of drivers. The integration of advanced deep learning models and the cost-effective implementation on Raspberry Pi and the comprehensive sensors contribute to enhance road safety and prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue. On this occasion, we congratulate the student (Heba Ali Ahmed) and wish her continued success. |

The Master’s thesis of the student Ghada Adnan Miteb, majoring in Control Engineering, was discussed on Thursday, 3/7/2024, at Hall No. 9 in the Department of Control and Systems Engineering. Her research was entitled: Intelligent Control of a Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit in petroleum Refineries The discussion committee consisted of: 1- Prof. Dr. Amjad Jalil Hamidi / Chairman. 2- Prof. Dr. Ammar Ibrahim Majeed / Member 3- Asst. Prof. Dr. Laila Hatem Abboud / Member 4- Prof. Dr. Muhammad Youssef Hassan / Member and Supervisor The development of the oil industry, which is considered one of the most important economies in the world, is achieved through high product quality. Therefore, there is a need to control the most important units in petroleum refineries by controlling the temperature of the product, which is the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU). In this work, the Firefly algorithm is used to find the best parameter values for the two types of controllers. The second controller design consists of two NPID controllers and two PDLT2 controllers. This design aims to compensate for disturbances and uncertainties in the FCCU. The reactor temperature overshoot in the simulation results is reduced by 90% and the regenerator temperature overrun is reduced by 85% compared to the results shown in Reference 20. The inherent coupling, uncertainty, chattering, and nonlinearity in the FCCU are handled by this type of controller. All results were obtained by MATLAB2020b. The discussion was attended by the Assistant Head of the Department for Scientific Affairs and Postgraduate Studies Prof. Dr. Abbas Hussein Issa. On this occasion, we congratulate the student Ghada Adnan Miteb and wish her continued success. |
