A faculty member in the Mechanical Engineering Department participated as a keynote speaker

As a keynote speaker, a faculty member in the Mechanical Engineering Department participated at the 4th IEEE International Conference on Computing, Communication, and Intelligent Systems, held on November 3rd and 4th. Assistant Professor Alaa Abdelhadi Jabr delivered a lecture titled "Harnessing AI: Leveraging Machine Learning for Robust Quadcopter Fault Diagnosis" via the Zoom platform.

The lecture focused on developing an effective model for diagnosing faults in drones using machine learning algorithms. The research involved collecting operational data from drones with various faults, then training different algorithms on this data to extract patterns distinguishing between normal and abnormal cases. The results demonstrated the proposed model's ability to detect faults and accurately identify their type with over 95% accuracy, providing a powerful tool for predictive maintenance.
