Application of innovative mechatronic systems in automation and robotics learning

This article describes learning process at ITMO University with application of innovative mechatronic systems in automation and robotics learning. Proposed learning method allows developing students' interest in gaining practical skills during working with real robots. As a result, the students' need for theoretical knowledge increases. The learning process represents “learning in project implementation” concept with ability to create own student project. An example of such student project is shown in the article.
