Getting proper guidance at university can sometimes be frustrating as the traditional advising systems are not effective or ineffective. Many students face the challenge of not being able to get answers to question they may have within a reasonable time, which in turn affects the time taken to exorcise critical academic choices. Considering the challenges stated above, we have created an advisory chatbot that makes academic advising quick and easy for everyone, including the users who are students in this case. The chatbot, which is developed with the use of Python, grog cloud and SQLite, can give students the help they need in a timely and engaging manner. It can respond to inquiries, provide recommendations, and save chat interactions so that students and advisors can refer to these chats later. This helps facilitate the management of outstanding issues and ensures effective and timely contact between students and their appropriate representatives. In case of more advanced questions, the chatbot can help direct students to contact the human consultants. The chatbot design is open, so new and improved updates will be possible. With this initiative, our focus was on enhancing the academic advising service and making it easier for students. The chatbot enables students to find information quickly, helps advisors organize their activities, and offers more targeted assistance. Furthermore, the platform allows service providers to reach students who may find their services relevant. Overall, this project transforms advising into a smooth, free experience, making it easier for students to focus on their education.

Effective communication between doctors and supervisors in clinical settings is essential to ensure timely training and quality patient care, especially in teaching hospitals where medical trainees require constant supervision. However, the traditional method of calling a supervisor requires doctors to leave their cubicles, remove protective equipment, and find a supervisor on site, which disrupts workflow, delays procedures, and compromises the sterile environment. These inefficiencies not only impact the time-sensitive nature of medical care but also hinder the overall operational productivity of hospitals. Addressing this issue is critical to creating a smoother and more efficient clinical workflow that benefits both doctors and patients. The solution we propose is a web-based system designed to simplify communication between doctors and supervisors. The system allows doctors to send instant supervision requests directly from their workstations, providing supervisors with basic details such as the doctor's name, booth number, and the nature of the request. Supervisors receive instant notifications through the system, allowing them to respond quickly without the delays caused by manual communication methods. The system also maintains a detailed log of all interactions, promoting transparency, accountability, and data analysis for future improvements. Using a user-friendly interface and real-time announcements, the system reduces workflow disruption and improves efficiency. One of the most important achievements in this project is the successful implementation of the notification system, which ensures that supervisors receive immediate warnings when the doctor submits the request. This prevents delays associated with physical communication disorders. The system also improves clinical efficiency by allowing doctors to remain in space, maintaining sterile conditions and reducing the cessation of the program. Furthermore, detailed interaction logs provide valuable insights into hospital management, enabling better oversight and process optimization. The project conclusion shows that technology-based solutions can significantly improve internal communication in clinical environments and ultimately support better patient outcomes. Overall, the project addresses serious inefficiencies in clinical operations by introducing practical and effective communication tools. By streamlining doctor-monitor interactions, the system reduces delays, increases workflow efficiency, and supports better decision-making, making it a significant innovation in today's healthcare environment.

This project introduces a multi-purpose system for person identification and hand gesture recognition, combining surface Electromyography (EMG) signals and Leap Motion 3D hand tracking to enhance security and usability in applications such as rehabilitation and user verification. Traditional identification methods, such as fingerprint or iris recognition, are becoming increasingly vulnerable to spoofing and security breaches. To overcome these limitations, we propose a non-invasive, multimodal approach that captures both muscle activity and hand gesture patterns using an 8-channel EMG armband and a Leap Motion controller. To evaluate the system, we collected a dataset from 16 different users, where each participant performed three distinct gestures fist, wave, and thumbs up repeated 10 times each. This resulted in a total of 480 samples, combining both EMG and Leap Motion data for each gesture. We extracted time-domain features from the EMG signals and 3D positional data from the Leap Motion. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers were trained on both modalities independently, as well as through multimodal fusion approaches specifically, feature-level concatenation and classifier-level probability averaging. The system was evaluated on two key tasks: user identification and gesture recognition. For person identification, both EMG and Leap Motion modalities achieved high accuracy (90%+), with classifier fusion consistently outperforming individual modalities. Notably, classifier fusion achieved up to 99.38% accuracy for the fist gesture and above 96% across all gestures. These results indicate that both EMG and Leap Motion capture unique personal traits in how users perform gestures. In gesture recognition, performance varied significantly across modalities. The Leap Motion system achieved near-perfect accuracy (99.22%), while the EMG-based system reached 63.41%, consistent with literature benchmarks for cross-user EMG classification. This disparity reflects the nature of EMG signals, which are more affected by inter-user variability, sensor placement, and physiological differences. Nevertheless, classifier fusion still achieved a strong 94.08% accuracy for gesture recognition, showing that using both EMG and Leap Motion together leads to better performance than using each one alone. In conclusion, this system demonstrates the effectiveness of combining EMG and 3D motion data for real-time, secure gesture-based user identification. It offers a scalable and reliable solution that improves classification accuracy, system robustness, and user-specific personalization—marking a promising step toward next-generation identity recognition technologies.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality among women worldwide, and early detection is critical for effective treatment and improved survival rates. This project focuses on developing a mmWave radar-based prototype system for non-invasive breast cancer detection. Unlike traditional imaging methods, our system explores the use of radar to identify abnormalities in breast tissue without ionizing radiation or discomfort. We used two different mmWave radar modules for experimentation: Texas Instruments’ IWR1843 and Infineon’s BGT60TR13C Development Kit. Our objective was to assess the capability of these radars in detecting tumor presence by analyzing signal behavior under various movement conditions—stable positioning, x-axis, y-axis, and zigzag motions. These movement scenarios were tested using tissue-mimicking phantoms to simulate realistic scanning environments and evaluate radar consistency and accuracy. In addition to hardware experimentation, machine learning played a key role in enhancing detection reliability. We trained classification models on diverse mammogram datasets to support automated tumor detection. The models were optimized for accuracy and robustness, achieving a peak classification accuracy of 99.7% in identifying malignant versus benign samples. Our prototype consists of a non-contact hardware system using mmWave radar for preliminary breast tissue scanning, and a separate machine learning model trained on mammogram datasets to support automated tumor detection. Its portable design makes it suitable as a pre-screening particularly in resource-constrained regions where access to conventional mammography is limited. By integrating mmWave radar technology with intelligent signal analysis, this project highlights a promising approach to transforming breast cancer detection—offering a fast, accurate, and safe alternative to traditional methods in a user-friendly format.

Amongst all chronic diseases, asthma is the most prevalent in children and, if poorly managed, may result in serious life-threatening events. This project addresses the urgent need for a real-time, continuous asthma monitoring system in children aged 6-12 years to improve the safety of such children by promptly alerting caregivers. Herein, we demonstrate a wearable wristband device that can provide measurement and monitoring of key health metrics like heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate (RR), and airway pressure. From there, the system classifies the child's condition into three stages of severity: normal, moderate, and severe. When the system detects high risk, the device will notify the caregivers and emergency services with the recorded metrics and the Global Positioning System (GPS) location of the child. The wristband integrates multiple technologies that can perform the task of continuous monitoring. It contains an ESP32 microcontroller with advanced processing features combined with real-time alert capabilities. It uses the MAX30102 for recording the HR, SpO2, and RR. To acquire the location of the child, it uses the NEO-6M GPS module. Data is represented on the OLED screen, while LEDs light up according to the levels of severity in a very user-friendly and intuitive way for a child. It is also designed to offer comfort and ease in application, thus enabling children to wear it during daily activities regardless of whether they are at home, at school, or in open spaces. The wristband has a miniature tube attached to an MPX5050 pressure sensor, which, on reaching red alert, an alert will show up on the OLED screen to prompt the child to blow into the tube in order to measure airway pressure, that gives a secondary indication of respiratory functioning. The key achievements in this design include the integration of real-time monitoring, GPS-enabled alerts, and a user-friendly design with minimal interaction from the child. This system is unique from all conventional asthma-monitoring devices because it offers location-based alerts in case of emergencies. Early detection and immediate response to asthma episodes could feasibly lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life for the pediatric asthma patient with this project. Such an innovative integration of wearables and analytics to provide real-time health data presents an unparalleled approach toward asthma management and reliably equips caregivers with a proactive tool in asthma care, while increasing safety for young patients.

The main goal is to create a real-time Arabic Sign Language (ArSL) recognition system that converts hand gestures into text or Arabic speech, thereby simplifying interactions between individuals who are deaf and nonspeaking and those who can hear. The system uses a Raspberry Pi 5, integrated with a Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, to capture hand gestures on the fly. The software is developed in Python and leverages the MediaPipe library for efficient hand detection. A pre-trained model is utilized to interpret both Arabic letters and frequently used words, enabling comprehensive gesture recognition. Operating on the Raspbian OS, development and testing were conducted using Thonny. The system relies on MediaPipe to extract hand landmarks and accurately predict corresponding Arabic sign language gestures. Recognized gestures are displayed as text on a connected monitor and also converted into Arabic speech using a text-to-speech module, enhancing accessibility for hearing individuals. The entire system is designed to allow contactless users to interact by pointing at on-screen buttons instead of physically touching them. Additionally, through Wi-Fi connectivity, the staff can access a dedicated HTTP-based chat interface hosted on the Raspberry Pi 5. This interface allows them to engage in real-time conversations with the user, viewing the translated Arabic sign language, responding in their preferred language, and having their messages automatically translated into Arabic. The translated reply is then sent to the shared display monitor, ensuring the Deaf and Mute user can read the response clearly, enabling seamless two-way multilingual communication. This project aims to deliver an affordable, efficient solution for the Arabic-speaking deaf and mute community, with applications in areas such as hospitals, educational institutions, and public service environments. By offering real-time Arabic sign language translation, the project aspires to bridge communication gaps, foster inclusivity, and enhance interactions across diverse segments of society.

Many diseases around the world have affected people's health and well-being. One of those diseases that has huge effects on the human brain, as well as is considered a disease that has no specific therapy to stop its effects, is Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is a disease that causes people to lose memory and experience difficulties in carrying out their routine daily activities. Therefore, in this project, a wearable assistive device has been designed to assist people with Alzheimer’s as well as their caregivers. This is accomplished through building an electronic circuit accompanied by a sensor network to measure certain signals that can assist caregivers in monitoring the health of Alzheimer's patients. Those sensors include a temperature sensor to measure body temperature, a heart rate and oxygen level sensor, which measures the number of heart beats per minute as well as the oxygen level in the body, and a motion sensor to measure abnormal movement. All these sensors are connected and controlled by the ESP32 C3 controller. In addition, the device is accompanied by GPS to determine the patient’s location in case the patient goes out of the specified range or location set to be monitored. A message is sent by the device to the caregiver about the patient’s location. This message is sent through the Wi-Fi module inherent in the ESP32 C3 controller. Besides all these operations, a scheduled time for reminding the patient about taking their medicine is set through an algorithm and uploaded to the controller. This notification is achieved through messages sent to the Blynk App and sound notifications from the buzzer. It was observed in the results that the device was able to capture vital signs, these being a temperature (normal: 36.1°C to 37.2°C), a heart rate of 107 bpm, and an oxygen saturation of 99%, affirming the patient to be in a stable condition. In addition, both the GPS and notification systems worked properly since location coordinates were well determined, and notifications were also delivered on time. This device demonstrates a practical way of enhancing patient care, safety, and communication between patients and their caregivers.

The device helps identify early indicators of health problems, minimizes the need for frequent hospital visits, and guarantees that doctors receive precise, real-time health updates by utilizing contactless mmWave radar technology and powerful artificial intelligence. An AI-powered medical chatbot is one of the system's most crucial components. This virtual assistant converses with patients, poses tailored health-related queries, and offers guidance based on radar data, and notifies physicians of any anomalies. In order to realize this concept, we collected heart rate data without making physical touch using a SeeedStudio microcontroller coupled to a mmWave radar sensor. This data is subsequently processed and stored by the system both locally and online. Additionally, we made the chatbot compatible with both text and voice, so users of various ages and technological skill levels can utilize it. We contrasted the radar data with readings from wearable sensor to verify its accuracy. We successfully mapped out and constructed the system with the aid of flowcharts, diagrams, and architecture models. The results have been positive. Through the chatbot, the system consistently monitored variations in heart rate and promptly sent out alarms. In comparison to conventional wearable technology, the mmWave radar demonstrated high accuracy during testing. According to surveys, 84.7% of respondents said that tools like this are crucial in their everyday life, demonstrating how much people—particularly those over 30—value being able to keep an eye on their health at home. Our idea offers an effective and useful solution for remote health monitoring that is prepared to make a significant impact by fusing AI, radar technology, and an intuitive user interface.

Manually grading coding assignments is one of the most repetitive and time-consuming tasks for computer science educators. Reviewing each submission for correctness, efficiency, and code quality takes significant effort, especially when dealing with large classes. This process often leads to delayed feedback, inconsistent evaluations, and limited time for instructors to focus on teaching. As the volume of assignments grows, maintaining fairness, speed, and quality in grading becomes increasingly difficult without automation. This is where coconut comes in. Coconut is a teacher-only tool that simplifies two major tasks: creating assignments and semi-automatically grading multiple student submissions. For assignment creation, teachers input their idea, topic, difficulty, and language, alongside any additional requirements for the problem and Coconut uses fine-tuned AI agents to generate a relevant problem, providing proper problem descriptions for the students, grading rubric, relevant starter code, and a test case guide. During grading, the tool analyzes student’s code, supporting even multiple files for submission - checking for correctness, efficiency, and coding practices - and provides individualized feedback and suggested fixes. Teachers can take this review and adjust the results as needed, making Coconut do all the tiring work while still giving teachers full control over the output. Coconut reduces the effort of creating assignments from scratch and speeds up grading, helping educators focus on teaching without compromising quality. Initially, the project aimed to build a broader Learning Management System (LMS) but strategically shifted toward a more focused and novel direction: creating an intelligent, agentic platform that supports educators specifically in programming assignment generation and evaluation. By narrowing the scope, Coconut introduced unique capabilities — particularly in AI-driven problem creation, static code analysis without remote execution risks, and modular, adjustable feedback workflows — that set it apart from traditional LMS tools. This engineered solution not only fills a critical gap for computer science educators but also demonstrates how targeted, agent-assisted platforms can deliver high-impact improvements in education without the complexity and overhead of full-scale LMS ecosystems.

The architecture is modular and energy-efficient, combining wireless RF power harvesting with secure data communication protocols. Although the intended design envisions a unified RF-based system, current hardware limitations necessitated a dual-band approach: 915 MHz RF signals are used for wireless power harvesting, while ESP-NOW (2.4 GHz) is employed for secure, low-latency data communication. The system integrates robust encryption and authentication mechanisms to safeguard transmitted data against cyber threats. It is built to perform reliably in dense urban environments and harsh outdoor conditions, aligning with sustainability goals through minimal energy consumption and durable hardware components. Additionally, the modular design allows for flexible deployment across diverse emergency scenarios and scalability toward nationwide implementation. By addressing critical gaps in existing traffic management systems, this project contributes a practical, cost-effective, and secure solution that enhances emergency response capabilities, promotes public safety, and supports sustainable urban development.

Maintaining the structural integrity of gas pipelines is critical for ensuring operational safety, environmental protection, and economic stability, particularly in energy-driven countries like Qatar. Traditional inspection methods, such as Pipeline Inspection Gauges (PIGs) and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) systems, are costly, labor-intensive, and often limited in early defect detection capability. These limitations create an urgent need for a more efficient, accurate, and scalable inspection solution. In response, this project introduces PIPEGUARD, a semi-autonomous pipeline inspection robot equipped with environmental sensors and an AI-enhanced computer vision system. The robot leverages a tracked skid-steering chassis for reliable movement in confined pipeline interiors and integrates a multi-layered hardware architecture featuring a Jetson Orin NX, an ESP32 microcontroller, and an OAK-D Pro camera. Unlike traditional systems, PIPEGUARD performs onboard defect detection directly on the camera’s Myriad X VPU, running an optimized YOLOv8 model. This edge-based inference significantly reduces processing latency and energy consumption, allowing the Jetson Orin NX to focus on motion control, stabilization through sensor fusion, and real-time data logging. Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and methane gas concentration are continuously monitored via a network of sensors managed by the ESP32. These readings, combined with IMU-based stabilization, contribute to a comprehensive inspection framework capable of detecting both surface-level defects and deeper structural anomalies. Sensor data, movement feedback, and vision outputs are logged, processed, and summarized into detailed inspection reports, enabling proactive maintenance decisions. Key achievements of this project include the successful deployment of a real-time AI vision model on a resource-constrained edge device, the seamless integration of ROS2-based motion and sensor fusion control, and the development of a lightweight, modular robot platform optimized for in-pipeline operation. Rigorous subsystem testing demonstrated robust environmental sensing, accurate stabilization during movement, and effective defect detection across various pipeline conditions. The novelty of the PIPEGUARD design lies in its unique combination of edge AI inference, modular ROS2 control, and skid-steering locomotion, all within a compact, power-efficient form factor. By shifting inference to the OAK-D Pro’s VPU, the system achieves a balance between performance and energy efficiency that is not present in conventional crawler robots. This innovation enables cost-effective, scalable pipeline monitoring solutions, potentially transforming pipeline maintenance practices by enhancing inspection frequency, reducing operational risks, and supporting the transition towards smarter and more sustainable infrastructure systems.

Driver drowsiness is a significant safety issue that leads to numerous road accidents each year. This project addresses the need for a reliable detection system that monitors signs of driver drowsiness and provides timely alerts to prevent accidents. The objective is to develop a system that combines vehicle behavior sensors, such as gyroscope and accelerometer sensors; in addition to driver behavior sensors, like face-tracking cameras, to monitor the driver’s alertness in real time. The system processes data from these sensors to detect fatigue indicators, including prolonged eye closure, Yawning and Harsh braking or turing. Upon detecting drowsiness, it issues an alert to prompt the driver to take corrective action, such as pulling over to rest. Designed for high accuracy, the system is also cost-effective and integrates easily with vehicle electronics while operating non-intrusively to avoid distracting the driver. This project aims to contribute to road safety by reducing drowsiness-related accidents. It represents a step forward in driver assistance technologies, with potential extensions for applications in autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles.

The project aims to design and develop a secure and efficient electronic voting system, utilizing advanced technologies to enhance the integrity, confidentiality, and reliability of the voting process. Our electronic voting system uses a private blockchain model where each vote is encrypted and stored in a linked list of blocks. Each block contains a hash of the previous block, ensuring data immutability, and uses a nonce to prevent hash collisions or replay attacks. Fingerprint authentication is integrated into the voting system using an optical fingerprint sensor, ensuring only authorized users can access the voting system, thereby eliminating the risk of voter impersonation, vote manipulation, or fraud. Our electronic voting system combines biometric authentication and encryption techniques to propose a secure, transparent, and user-friendly approach. The system simplifies the voting process by providing voters with straightforward and reliable means of casting their votes. Moreover, the system reduces dependence on manual processes, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency in vote counting and result compilation. By addressing critical challenges in conventional voting systems, such as inefficiency, data security, and fraud, this project demonstrates how technology can build trust and enhance transparency in democratic systems and encourage people to participate more in electoral processes.
