A master's thesis of the graduate student Fatima Ibrahim Hussein, specialized in Mechatronics Engineering, was discussed on Thursday, 28/4/2022, at Hall No. 9, in the Department of Control and Systems Engineering. Her research was entitled: Optimal Control of Knee Joint System This discussion committee consisted of:

1- Dr. Mohamed Youssef Hassan / Chairman.

2- Dr. Firas Abdul Razzaq Rahim / Member.

4- Dr. Safana Mazhar Raafat / member and supervisor.

Rehabilitation of the lower extremities is complex, and many internal and external elements must be taken into account. This thesis proposes to design a robotic rehabilitation robot for the lower extremity of the knee and ankle joint to restore mobility and help patients with spinal cord injury and stroke patients. The user system structure consists of two degrees of freedom. Feedback control on the optimal state of the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and (Servo-LQR) strategy has been implemented in this work. Nonlinear differential Equations using calculated torque control (CTC) based on a PD controller and PID have been implemented. In general, the determination of the values of control parameters is managed through a trial-and-error approach and is simply a time-consuming process. To avoid the traditional trial and error method, the PSO algorithm has been parameterized controllers to overcome the difficulties of designing controls. This method reduces time required to determine the best parameters. The robustness of the proposed approach with external perturbations and random noise was chosen. It was found by simulation that the PD-CTC controller can provide reliable estimates and control. On this occasion, we congratulate the student and wish her all success.                                                               

In cooperation with the Department of Control and Systems Engineering, the Research and Development Division organized a Seminar entitled: [Education System in Germany and the DAAD Grant] The seminar was given by:

Dr. Bushra Kazem Aliwi / Department of Control and Systems Engineering

D. Amjad Talal Saeed / Head of the Research and Development Division

Dr. Dhia Najim Abdul Amir/ Research and Development Division

The seminar touched upon an introduction to the education system in Germany, universities and language institutes, an introduction about the International Academic Exchange Organization of DAAD, the presentation of the Scholarship, the preparation of application requirements and an explanation of what comes after acquiring the grant and joining the study in Germany.

The master's thesis of the student Hadeel Ibrahim Abdul Amir, specialized in control engineering, was discussed on Tuesday, 12 April 2022, at Hall (9) in the Department of Control and Systems Engineering. Her research was entitled: (Fractional Order Fuzzy PID Controller Design for Nonlinear System) The discussion committee consisted of:

1. Dr. Omar Farouk Lotfi / Chairman.

2. Dr. Ahmed Khalaf Hammoudi/Member.

3. Dr. Ammar Ibrahim Majid / Member.

4.Dr. Mohammed Jassim Mohammed / Member and Supervisor.

Automated maneuvering is a highly comparable and complex multi-input and non-linear system. Uncertainty in parameters and external disturbances has a negative impact on the performance of the system, as a result of which the main objective of the thesis is to design four control structures for integrative/proportional derived tapered controllers with a fractional order of two types of robot skylights, a solid two-link robot skylight and a solid three-link robot skylight dealing with the problem of tracking the path. in the case of a two-link solid robot skylight the results of the matlab code show Fractional Order Fuzzy PID controllers to ensure the best track tracking and improve the system's response to initial circumstances, external disturbances and teacher changes. On this occasion, we congratulate the student Hadeel Ibrahim Abdul Amir and wish her continued success.

Under the auspices of the President of the University of Technology, Dr. Ahmed Al-Ghaban, and as part of the program of the department of Control and Systems Engineering for celebrating the anniversary of the founding of the university, a celebration was held under the title (Graduates of the University of Technology... Protectors of Society) To highlight and honor all university graduates involved in working as officers in the Ministry of Interior because of the importance of what women do in this field to serve their community and country as well as their excellence, which reflects an impressive picture of the university of Technology, which since its founding has been one of the most important institutions and a source of great potential for the country's builders, especially its distinguished graduates in all kinds of the labor market. The ceremony was attended by the President of the University and deans of colleges and for its part the Ministry of Interior had a distinguished presence at the level of its leaders in addition to the celebrated officers and a number of university professors and students. In his speech, The President of the University thanked the officers and expressed the university's gratitude, as part of the community, for all their extraordinary efforts in the most important institution that serves the citizen and maintains his security. the Ministry of Interior also praised the university's step, which is the first of its kind, to honor its military graduates and the positive impact of this initiative on the human being who offers the most precious thing that dictates you in the service of his country and his community. The celebration included many sections, including musical events performed by university students and dedicated to the graduates, as well as success stories for female officers who impressed the audience, especially the students who are waiting for their role in graduation to choose their field of work and the field of service of beloved Iraq. This will not be the last activity of the Department of Control and Systems or the University in honoring its graduates who are distinguished in their work within their institutions, especially security and military ones, this is what Dr. Azad Rahim mentioned during a media interview with him. All respect and appreciation to all those who serve the flag of Iraq, which deserves all sincere efforts to raise it.
