A Master Thesis discussed in Department ofComputer Engineering/College ofEngineering/University ofMosul ,entitled” Hybrid Artificial Smart Hand for the Handicapped ” for the student (Mohammed Tariq Mohammed) on Wednesday 1-7-2020on thediscussions hall of MechatronicsEngineering department.Thethesisoffersan enhanced artificial arm study with a certain level of sensation.As thesensorysystemmimics the sensation of the missing upper limb when using the prosthesis.To achieve this concept, a temperature and pressure sensor is used to provide a better life experience for people with special needs.Together, the temperature and power sensor are in the form of an arm band attached to the intact part of the user’s skin. The sensing system workstogetherwith theartificialarm.Panel controlsArduinoPre-programmedin the movement of the fingers based on the signal EMGTreated.Thehumanoid roboticarmsupports (6) degrees of freedom of movement.A person with special needs in the upper limb area uses theartificialarmto interact with the body and also uses the sensory system to simulate sensation.Themobile application is designed to provide more flexibility for the user of the electronic arm,as it provides a user interface to control the electronic arm.Experimental and statistical tests were conducted and the system’s effectiveness and functions were proven.The discussion committee consistedof Prof. Dr. FakhruldeenHamid Ali (president) and the membership ofDr.Dhafer AbdulFattah (member), Asst. Prof.Dr.AbdulSattar Mohammed Khudher (member), and Prof. Dr.Basil Shukur Mahmood (memberand supervisor ).Then the discussion committee read the decision and included acceptance the thesis and giving the student a Master degree .
