Constructing innovative laboratory through intelligent learning objects

Last decade saw a rapid development of science and technology, which provides better educational environment and conditions for both learners and teachers. Advanced educational technology attracts more and more interests. Mobile robotics provides a motivating and innovative platform for performing laboratory experiments regarding interdiscipline including mechatronics, electronics, microcomputer and control. This paper reports the innovative educational environment of innovative laboratory built on intelligent robot. This innovative laboratory focuses on innovative educational software and technology for use in education. Through innovative design process, the intelligent modular robot platform constructs innovative learning environment through which students learn not only knowledge and skills but also how to collaborate with group members. Collaborative learning based on innovative laboratory helps to promote quality-oriented education and students' all-around development. It is student-oriented and career-oriented. Results indicate that the innovative laboratory not only imparting knowledge and skills to students but also developing their creativity, collaboration, practicing skill, innate ability and personality. It creates an environment in which teachers enjoy teaching and students enjoy learning and thus makes enjoyable education possible.
