In foreign countries, robot education has always been a hot spot: as early as 1994, MIT opened the course "Design and Construction of lego mindstorms", aiming at improving the design and creativity of engineering design students and trying to integrate robot education with scientific experiments; The project group of "Lifelong Kindergarten" in the Media Lab of MIT has developed various teaching tools. Through close cooperation with Lego, a famous building block toy manufacturer, the project team developed programmable Lego toys to help children learn how to design activities in the digital age. At the same time, some foreign intelligent robot laboratories also have corresponding robot education research contents.

Some developed countries such as Japan and the United States attach great importance to the role and influence of robot education on high-tech society, and set up courses about robots in information technology courses and extracurricular scientific and technological activities.

Since 1992, the relevant departments of the US government have implemented the "Perception and Cognition Mobile Robot" program among senior high school students in China. High school students can get a set of parts weighing 70 kilograms for free, assemble them into remote-controlled robots themselves, and then participate in related competitions.

Japan began to develop robots ten years later than the United States, which is known as the "hometown of modern robots", but it has always been ahead of European and American countries in the development of robot industrialization. This is inseparable from Japan's great attention to robot education and the popularization of robot culture. In Japan, every university has high-level robot research and teaching content, and regularly holds various levels of robot design and production competitions every year, including international high-level competitions and community primary and secondary school students' competitions.

The National Institute of Education of Singapore and Lego Ministry of Education held the first ROBOLAB International Education Seminar in the Asia-Pacific region in Singapore in June 2006. Through special report, paper exchange and hands-on production, the robot education and its application in science, technology and mathematics courses were exchanged to improve teachers' scientific and technological level and application ability in robot education.
