    Ras Al-Abed
    (2025) Tala Yaseen; Samaa Yasin
    Abstract Raas Alabed is one of the most popular treats among children and adults, particularly in winter when the industry thrives. Many local factories in Palestine, such as the Al-Arz factory, produce this marshmallow-based, chocolate-coated candy. Its foam-like structure and rich chocolate coating make it a favorite childhood sweet, associated with energy and warmth during the colder months. This project aims to fabricate a production line for Raas Alabed while preserving its traditional taste and cultural significance, particularly in the Levantine region. The goal is to enhance local factories’ capabilities by integrating modern computer technologies into traditional production methods. The project focuses on automating the production process through embedded sys- tems. Key objectives include automating production using sensors and microcontrollers. The methodology involves designing mechanical components, integrating them with electronics, and programming software for automation. While similar systems exist for other chocolate-coated marshmallows, this project is unique in its emphasis on blending Levantine traditional methods with modern technology. The production line consists of four stages. In the first stage, the cream is prepared—whipped, and mixed based on user input (standard or cocoa-flavored). The second stage involves placing the biscuits accurately, followed by dispensing the cream onto them. In the third stage, the melted chocolate is poured to cover the cream completely. The main features of this production line are: • User-controlled customization: The system allows operators to input preferences for cream type (standard or cocoa). • Automated precision: The line is equipped with sensors that ensure accurate biscuit placement and precise dispensing of both cream and chocolate, minimizing human error and increasing efficiency

    Storage Machine System
    (2024) Tasneem Abu Rajab; Heba Damide
    A storage machine is a system that automates the organization and sorting of goods. The robot operates by using a barcode scanner to read the barcode on each box. The worker places the boxes on the robot arm, and it automatically deposits them in the correct cell within a cabinet. Moreover, the robot can deliver the box to the worker. The robot employs a push mechanism, allowing the buyer to select the desired box. This integrated system, combining robot and retrieval mechanisms, enhances the overall management process. It optimizes the storage and dispensing of goods, reducing the likelihood of human errors, and providing convenient and efficient access for users to obtain the goods they need

    CNC System for Wood and Plastic Engraving
    (2025) Adham Yaqoub; Yazan Edaily
    CNC carving machines play a significant role in modern industries and crafts, particularly in fields such as woodworking, plastic fabrication, and artistic engraving. This project presents the design and implementation of a CNC machine dedicated to carving and engraving on wood and plastic materials with high precision. The system operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) controlled by an Arduino microcontroller integrated with the GRBL Web interface via a serial connection. This interface facilitates essential functions such as defining the carving dimensions, adjusting operational settings, and converting digital designs into G-code instructions for seamless execution. The project was developed through several phases: starting with the mechanical design of the three-axis structure and base, followed by programming the Arduino controller and testing the axis movements to ensure accuracy. Subsequently, the system was integrated with the GRBL Web platform, enabling users to upload designs, convert them into G-code, and manage the machine efficiently. Final testing focused on achieving reliable communication between hardware and software components to deliver optimal carving performance on both wood and plastic. Unlike conventional CNC systems, this project emphasizes ease of use and adaptability, making it suitable for small workshops, prototyping, and custom artistic production.

    Programmable Robotic Arms
    (2024) Naser Shaer; , Kareem Yaqoup
    The Programmable Robotic Arm is a smart, 6 Degree of Freedom (DOF) robotic arm that can be programmed using two interfaces. It features a special custom compiler with simple set instructions, allowing for sequential coding, control statements, loops, and a variety of built-in functions which enables on-fly programming/testing. Additionally, it supports a mobile application that enables of the robotic arm through a simple interface, with camera as it enabling quality checking and live video streaming, also it offers object detection that can be selected from the mobile so that arm can automatically grips it then give back the control to the user. The robotic arm is equipped with prebuilt sensors and supports sensor expansion via digital and analog external fixed inputs. This flexibility allows for the creation of diverse sequences based on different sensors and inputs. This prototype follows industrial robotic arms version 4 which allows controlling the robotic arm wirelessly through a computer or mobile, the arm also has intelligence which allow it to adapt to object size, weight, and also it can detect objects that are out of range

    Smart Home Automation System Using ESP and IoT SmartNest
    (2025) Saba Majdi Shoqo
    This project presents a wireless smart home automation system that utilizes ESP-based microcontrollers to connect and control various sensors and devices remotely via Wi-Fi. By integrating real-time monitoring and automation, the system enhances security, energy efficiency, and convenience, allowing users to manage their home environment seamlessly through a mobile application. The system includes LED lighting control, enabling users to adjust indoor lights remotely for energy efficiency and convenience. A temperature and humidity sensor continuously monitors environmental conditions, and an automatic cooling fan is activated if the temperature exceeds or drops below a predefined threshold to maintain a comfortable indoor atmosphere. To ensure safety, a fire detection sensor promptly alerts homeowners in case of potential fire hazards. For enhanced security and automation, a PIR motion sensor detects movement, automatically controlling lighting and notifying users of unexpected activity. In addition to security and comfort, the system also optimizes water resource management. A soil moisture sensor is linked to a water pump, enabling automated garden irrigation by supplying water only when necessary, preventing waste and ensuring plant health.
