The master’s thesis defence was held in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the College of Engineering, University of Karbala, for the student Sajadine Kazem Dawood Al-Khafaji. The thesis was titled “Design and Control of a Robotic Assistant for the Lower Limb to Aid Patients with Paralysis in Movement.” It took place in the Sayyid al-Shuhada Hall within the college building.
The thesis focused on the design, control, and monitoring of gradual rehabilitation for patients with paralysis, aiming to improve the accuracy of movement progression to help correct abnormal conditions and approximate them to normal states across multiple stages. Particular emphasis was placed on ustroller unit that monitors and attempts to maintain balance between target signals and actual feedback.
During the discussion, simulation results were presented using MATLAB software. The results demonstrated the system’s efficiency across various cases, different injury types, and degrees of severity.
The discussion committee was composed of the following members:
– Prof. Dr. Ahmed Abdul Hadi Ahmed, College of Engineering, University of Karbala, Chairperson.
