Biorobotics session
that took place during the BioVisionAlexandria International Conference 2010
at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA), and in cooperation with the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), and the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST);
the Center for Special Studies and Programs (CSSP) had continued its support towards young researchers by organizing the Biorobotics Workshop during the period 13-15 December 2010.

Over a period of three days, this Workshop aimed to introduce the new science of Robotics and Biorobotics, and to deliver skill quality training to young researchers in these fields.
