Research on the Development and Implementation of Robotics Courses in Higher Vocational Colleges under the Context of Industry Academy Construction

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of intelligent manufacturing and robotics industries in China, the demand for skilled professionals such as robotics application engineers has grown significantly. Higher vocational colleges, as key institutions for cultivating technical talents, urgently need to explore course development and implementation pathways that align with industry competency requirements, particularly in the context of industry academy construction. Based on the robotics industry academy jointly established by Sichuan Yangtze Vocational College and Zhejiang Haidu Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., this study adopts a mixed approach of literature review, enterprise research, curriculum design, and practice-based validation. It systematically analyzes the existing challenges in robotics course development and implementation, including goal deviation, insufficient resource integration, lagging smart curriculum construction, weak school-enterprise collaboration, and one-dimensional evaluation systems. On this basis, a competency-oriented modular curriculum system was constructed, smart course resources integrating artificial intelligence and virtual simulation were developed, a dual-mentor collaborative teaching mechanism between schools and enterprises was formed, and a diversified evaluation system was established. The findings indicate that this model significantly enhances students’ practical abilities and professional literacy, while achieving precise alignment between curriculum content and industrial needs. The research provides replicable and transferable experience for robotics program construction and the development of industry academies in higher vocational education.
