Abstract :
For improving the classroom teaching, we design a new Portable Networked Plant-one freedom robot arm, and set up a remote control experiment platform. The purpose of the new plant is as following: (1) Use for teachers in classroom, showing the control method for students together. (2) Use for students, after the course, they can log in the E-Laboratory to do various experiments, improve their understanding of teachers´ describing in classroom. After the investigation of the new plant used in 2 classrooms, about 57% students thought the new plant can improve their understanding of automation theory, and about 54% students thought the E-experiment can improve their understanding of control methods.
