    AutoPizza
    (2023) Shahd Bilal Hamza; Fana Abdul Rahim Yamk
    In response to the increasing demand for convenient and personalized food options, particularly in the case of pizza as a popular fast food choice, our idea is to develop a user-friendly and customizable pizza station. By leveraging technology, our pizza station aims to simplify and automate the pizza-making process, making it faster and more accurate. Whether it's for special events or quick hunger cravings since traditional methods often fall short in terms of speed and customization. Our pizza station presents a straightforward solution to the issue of limited options. Its user-friendly interface allows customers to customize their pizzas effortlessly based on their preferences. Moreover, our station boasts a reasonable size that allows for easy placement in various settings, without occupying excessive space like those found in factories Our pizza station takes a step-by-step approach to pizza-making. The process starts with the use of pre-prepared dough or bread, sourced externally. Once the user specifies their desired pizza options, the pizza goes through different stations tailored to their selections. Finally, it enters the oven and emerges as a delicious, ready-to-eat pie, and notifies the user for it . Our station is carefully designed to minimize waste by efficiently using the necessary ingredients and preserving excess components for future use. This approach not only optimizes the pizza-making process but also aligns with our commitment to environmentally conscious practices. To ensure uninterrupted operations, the machine is equipped with a component tracking system that monitors the availability of ingredients. When a specific component runs out, the system automatically sends a notification to the administrator, prompting them to refill the depleted item. This feature ensures a continuous supply of ingredients for pizza production.

    Claw Machine
    (2023) Sundos Mustafa Saifi; Abdullah Munther Refai
    A claw machine is an enjoyable type of vending machines, it can be found in arcade shops, malls and movie theatres, this machine could be considered as a challenge versus time, in this game a person can control how many minutes he wants to play and he wins the items he gripes in that specified time. This machine gives the player the opportunity to play in one of these options, the first one is using joystick While the second one is from mobile phone application and at last using hand gestures through camera and image processing. This machine is divided into four parts: control, logic control, mechanics and playing area. The logic control consists of Arduino mega as a main controller, five HY-DIV268N-5A motor drivers, ESP8266 for mobile control, orange pi for LTS (single board computer) for hand gestures control, Arduino Uno, SD card module for storing sounds, and power supply for the system. Control part consists of lcd for displaying game instructions and remaining play time, joystick to control the gripper position before gripping item, keypad to specify the time and choose the game control mode (1: joystick, 2: mobile application, 3: hand gestures using camera), RFID for payment and start/catch button. The mechanics part consists of gripper that carried by motor and rope which this motor can be moved through (x, y) plane and the gripper that tied with rope is the z axis, one stepper motors for x movement, two stepper motors for y movement, one stepper for z movement and the last stepper for the gripper, stainless steel rods. The playing area contains the items that the player can grip, speakers for sounds and RGB led strips.

    Automated Sample Preparation System
    (2023) Jenan Abualrub; Yaqout Salameh
    Analytical chemistry occupies a crucial role in the medical field for being the deterministic criteria in diagnosis. It primarily relies on performing chemical laboratory tests on patients’ samples , which are widely done manually and vulnerable to errors . In light of these challenges , the development of an automated sample preparation system (ASPS) provides a viable alternative to overcome the flaws of the manual process. The ASPS eliminates the need for manual intervention from the la boratory technician, as a needle would move automatically towards the samples and the reagents based on the selected test. The needle would then sense the substance and precisely dispense the required amount for the test in the reaction cup . Simultaneously , a syringe would help draw ing in and expelling the substances. Throughout the test, the needle is cleaned to prevent any contamination. Additionally , the laboratory technician has the ability to schedule up to 4 tests, which the system would perform seque ntially . The ASPS was developed using Arduino mega, motors, and a sensing circuit built upon capacitance manipulation.

    Automation Firefighter Car
    (2023) Amer Zagha; Amr Salman
    6 Abstract Fires take a heavy toll, and there are often areas that firefighters can't get to quickly because of the flames. Therefore, we decided to implement a project to develop an automatic fire engine. The Firefighter Car project aims to design and implement an advanced fire detection and suppression system for firefighting vehicles. The system is equipped with a camera, Raspberry Pi and Arduino, enabling the vehicle to quickly identify fires and suppress them effectively. The technology of the project involves using computer vision to analyze real-time video frames captured by the vehicle's camera. The Raspberry Pi, with its computational power and small size, acts as the primary processing unit, executing fire detection algorithms. This allows for real-time monitoring and analysis of the video feed, enabling the vehicle to detect fire incidents instantly. • There will be two modes to move the vehicle from the fire station to the destination: automatic and manual modes. • We will install thermal sensors to confirm fire detection. • In addition, we will add an ultrasonic sensor to detect any obstacles and avoid them if necessary. • Stepper motor scanner with the camera He rotates until he finds fire, so we take the angle by a Gyroscope to move the car on it • The Arduino microcontroller acts as an interface between the Raspberry Pi and various components, such as fire suppression mechanisms and motors. When a fire is detected, the system triggers the appropriate response, activating the mechanisms necessary to extinguish the flames. • We will also install a water pump sensor to alert when the water is not enough and when it runs out. Moreover, we will develop a software that will provides us with live feed information from the vehicle using a wireless connection. Also, it will enable us to control the car. • After the vehicle have

    Perfumix Machine
    (2023) Lina Qurom; Lina Al-Deek
    The Perfumix Machine is a pioneering perfume production system that redefines the traditional boundaries of fragrance creation in retail environments. While its primary function is to facilitate the automated mixing and packaging of perfumes, it offers users the flexibility to choose from a plethora of scent combinations or craft their own unique blend.In addition to this machine being unique, what distinguishes Perfumix is its capability to be controlled remotely, empowering users to operate the machine from a distance with ease. The Perfumix Machine's architecture is divided into six pivotal sections: a Fill Station, a Mixing Station, a Bottle Cap Drop Station, a Bottle Sealing Station, a Control Unit, and an Input/Output Interface. The Mixing Station utilizes an air jack system for accurate positioning of perfume bottles during the mixing phase. The Fill Station ensures the precise pouring of the crafted scent blend. Next in line is the Bottle Cap Drop Station, responsible for systematically placing the caps onto the bottles. This is followed by the Bottle Sealing Station, which guarantees a secure and airtight closure of each perfume container. The Control Unit, powered by an Arduino Mega and complemented by various sensors, orchestrates the operation of the entire system. Meanwhile, the Input/Output Interface offers users an intuitive interaction point, through a dedicated mobile application, facilitated by an ESP8266 module for connectivity. In our design, we've incorporated a range of sensors, including IR sensors and ultrasonic sensors, alongside DC, servo and stepper motors. Key structural elements like a conveyor system were achieved using bearings, linear bearing, gears, chains, chrome rods, and a circular iron base for holding the dual air jack and the perfume bottle holder. The microcontroller at the heart of our system is an Arduino Mega, further enhanced with the ESP8266 module. Additionally, we ensured seamless integration with other critical components, including pumps and air jacks, to achieve a cohesive and efficient system.
