In this work, a 5 degrees-of-freedom (5-DOF) robot manipulator is designed, fabricated and integrated. The forward and inverse kinematics analyses of the manipulator are presented in this paper. Simulations and modelling of the robot manipulator were performed using MATLAB, SolidWorks and LabVIEW to validate the mathematical models. Further, the control system GUI was developed using LabVIEW and the controller was implemented using Arduino Mega, stepper motors and electronic circuitry. A robotic vision system was developed. The acquired images were transmitted wirelessly to LabVIEW, where Vision Development Module was used for image calibration, processing and detection of pre-defined objects. As a result, the objects positions with reference to the robot base were obtained. The vision system as part of the robot control system, was consequently, used to control objects pick-and-place routines. Error and positioning accuracy experiments were also performed and results were analyzed to evaluate the accuracy of the developed robot manipulator.","PeriodicalId":413243,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Promising Electronic Technologies (ICPET)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121299261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most residents do not have a permanent water supply and almost receive water for only 6-8 hours per day. The total dissolved solid (TDS) of the water stays in the range of few thousands most of the time while being in the range of few hundreds during random few hours. The aim of this work is to build a viable device capable of hunting and isolating good quality water for gardening and faucets use while leaving normal quality water for general purposes such as washing and toilet flushing. The device will be build using PIC18F4550 microcontroller and is expected to provide a limited budget solution to automate the process of salinity test and to promote efficient utilization of scarce water resources.","PeriodicalId":413243,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Promising Electronic Technologies (ICPET)","volume":"577 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133321352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This needs assessment is the first step towards designing and approving curricula that meet job market requirements, thus, providing the local community with high quality rehabilitation engineers. Several focus groups and questionnaires were used to identify the employability areas and the modules needed to fill in the gaps between currently offered modules and the requirements of rehabilitation engineering. The employability areas were identified, according to importance, to be development, sales, design, manufacturing, service delivery and research. The study analyzed the data to determine the minimum number of credits needed to meet the accreditation requirements for a bachelor degree in engineering, while satisfying the employability areas assessed. By analyzing the study plan of a program, officers can identify the gap, so that they can build recommendations on how to modify this program to match the local job market needs in the field of rehabilitation engineering. There could be a variety of alternative solutions that would satisfy the requirements and thus making it easier and more flexible for Gaza Strip universities to add modules related to their specific conditions. The study showed that a total of 42 modules are needed to satisfy both the institutional academic requirements (credit hours) and the employability area needs.","PeriodicalId":413243,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Promising Electronic Technologies (ICPET)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124204623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, scientists have worked to find new technologies that help the blind people and facilitate their access to and exchange of information. In this paper, a novel vibro-tactile braille display and keyboard device is presented. The developed device is an electronic Braille reading/writing device allows blind people to read textual information in Braille language and facilitate their typing/writing process on computer. For displaying textual information in Braille language, six vibro-tactile actuators are used to represent/code Braille cell of each single character. The device provides fast and accurate mnemonic output by concurrently vibrating the users' fingers of both hands based on the pattern of character. The designed keyboard got inspiration from the conventional Perkins Braille writer which 6-dot codes are inputted by using the user's hand finger chords. The developed braille keyboard/display improves and simplifies the communication for visually impaired people based on their sensation of vibration which is suitable for blind people who has low tactile sensation (e.g. due to diabetes). The developed device provides high privacy for users and with high compatibility to computer environment.","PeriodicalId":413243,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Promising Electronic Technologies (ICPET)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127207853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
