Competition Driven Practical Innovation Teaching Method for Robot Education

With the development of modern science and technology, robots have been more and more integrated into our daily life. In addition, there are great demand of robot related talents in the field of machinery. However, currently, mechanical design, manufacturing and automation major still focuses on courses of traditional mechanical manufacturing and automation control, supplemented by a small number of electronic information courses. Such education cannot fully meet the most industrial needs. Toward this problem, by analyzing the existing problems in robot technology education, this paper proposes a competition driven practical innovation teaching method for robot education, which consists of project-based education, innovative training, non-traditional teaching methods, team development, summer school and Robot DIY laboratory. On the basis of the above-mentioned teaching system, we actively organized teams to participate in various robot competitions, and achieved gratifying results.
