First Call for Participation for Minesweepers: Towards a Landmine-Free Egypt: As Egypt has been listed as the country most contaminated by landmines in the world with an estimate of approximately 23,000,000 landmines, Minesweepers: Towards a Landmine-Free Egypt is the first national robotic competition aimed at fostering robotics research and its applications in the area of humanitarian demining in Egypt. This competition will raise the public awareness of the role of science and technology in solving this problem and will motivate professors, engineers and students working in this pertinent area of national importance. The competition is organized by IEEE Rbotics and Automation Society - Egypt Chapter and is sponsored and host this year at the German University in Cairo. I am the creator and the coordinator of this competition.

Launch Event of IEEE Robotics and Automation Society - Egypt Chapter has taken place on Sunday September 18, 2011 at the GUC.
The event has been covered by local media.
A photo gallary of the event is available here.
