The first batch of intelligent robot classrooms to be rolled out in the northern city of Harbin went into service at four schools in Pingfang district on March 5.

The classrooms were funded by the Pingfang district government and the Harbin Baiwei City Development Foundation, at a total investment of 1.89 million yuan ($281,800).

The classrooms are designed to inspire students’ interest in robotic technologies. Each classroom is equipped with 18 intelligent robots in the shape of a human being and courses are offered on the principles behind robot structural designs, as well as cyber programming and robot motion controls.

Xinjiang No 1 Primary School, Harbin Youxie No 3 Primary School, Harbin Dongan Yingcai Middle School and Harbin No 162 Middle School are the first schools using the intelligent robot education classrooms.
