The "Assiut Robotics" team from the Faculty of Engineering wins the Best Mechanical Design award at the international landmine-clearing competition.
The "Assiut Robotics" team from the Faculty of Engineering has won the "Best Mechanical Design" award at the international "Minesweepers: Towards a Landmine-Free World" competition.
Under the patronage of Prof. Ahmed Abdel-Mawla, President of Assiut University, and Prof. Khaled Salah Saeed, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering—and under the supervision of Prof. Mazen Abdel-Salam from the Department of Electrical Engineering—the "Assiut Robotics" team from the Faculty of Engineering at Assiut University has added a new engineering achievement to its impressive track record. This success came during their participation in the 2026 edition of the international "Minesweepers: Towards a Landmine-Free World" competition, held on October 17, 2026, at Zewail City of Science and Technology.
The team was awarded the prize for "Best Mechanical Design," outperforming all other participating teams in terms of engineering and design. The competition is one of the most prominent international engineering forums dedicated to the development of robots for landmine detection and removal.
The robot was specifically designed and built to navigate rugged terrain, detect both surface and buried landmines, map their locations, and subsequently retrieve them, all through an integrated engineering system.
The participating students include: Ahmed Eid El-Madi (Team Leader), Hagar Mahmoud Mohamed El-Amir (Project Leader), Ahmed Nady Mohamed, Anthony Gais Akhnoukh, Safi El-Din Mohamed, Mostafa Mohamed, Haneen Montaser Soliman, Diaa Hassan Saad, Amina Hassan Mahmoud, Ahmed Orabi Mohamed, Ibrahim Sayed Ali, Rahma Essam Nabawy, and Abdelrahman Alaa Ali.

Improving dynamic parameter estimation in electric vehicle batteries: A comparative study of FFRLS methods with Open Circuit Voltage assumptions
Research Abstract
Accurate battery modelling is crucial for Battery Management Systems (BMS) to ensure precise state estimation and dynamic characteristic prediction, optimizing power and energy management in Electric Vehicles (EVs). Among various models, the Electric Equivalent Circuit Model (EECM) is widely used due to its ability to represent dynamic battery behaviour. However, its accuracy in EV applications is impacted by time-varying parameters such as temperature, current, State of Charge (SoC), and State of Health (SoH). This study addresses the limitations of conventional RLS algorithms by proposing a systematic evaluation of seven Forgetting Factor Recursive Least Squares (FFRLS) methods under dynamic conditions. Two Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) assumptions-OCV as an estimated parameter and as a function of SoC-are considered. Using a second-order Thevenin model in MATLAB/Simulink and …

Advancements in parameter estimation techniques for 1RC and 2RC equivalent circuit models of lithium-ion batteries: A comprehensive review
Research Abstract
The growing reliance on batteries across diverse applications highlights their essential role in everyday life. In an increasingly electrical world, it is crucial that Lithium-ion Batteries (LIBs), known for their high energy density and extended cycle life, can be understood and utilised for optimal performance. Having a Battery Management System (BMS) that can provide accurate state determination is therefore essential. Among the various models discussed in the literature, the focus often narrows down to 1RC and 2RC Electric Equivalent Circuit Models (EECMs), due to their widespread use and capability to accurately represent the nonlinear behaviour of batteries. This provides a balance between high estimation accuracy and manageable computational complexity, making them suitable for real-time applications, while aligning with the practical requirements of online battery management systems. With three to six …
