Abstract: Under the background of New Engineering and Technical Disciplines, the construction of innovation laboratory and the innovation of teaching mode are particularly important. The establishment of innovation laboratory can effectively make up for the shortcomings of teaching content and teaching mode in the initial construction of the new major, and create a bright spot for the university, improve the teaching level, and improve the skills of the students. During the construction and operation of the artificial intelligence robot laboratory in North China University of Science and Technology, four aspects of experience were summarized, which are organization and management, equipment procurement, competition selection, and publicity and recruitment. On the basis of interdisciplinary grouping, a step-by-step four-year training program is proposed, and methods for introducing modularity, standardization, and commercialization in the cultivation of innovative projects are studied.
