Abstract: Robotic technology foundation is an important professional course for the cultivation of mechatronics ability in the training program of mechanical and electronic engineering specialty and robot engineering specialty, which can organically link robot mathematical knowledge and engineering practice, and have the characteristics of both theory and practice. However, after the actual teaching activities of this course, found that the existing teaching methods and contents can't follow the forefront of the development of robotics, and the teaching methods and contents need to be further improved. This paper discusses the problems existing in the practical teaching of robot technology foundation in detail, and explores and practices the improvement measures for this course. The results show that the proposed improvement measures have clearly defined the key points of the course training, followed the hot spots of the robot frontier, improved the interest of the course, and made the examination method reasonably optimized.
