This paper addresses the problems of creating an innovative technology for the education of engineers on the basis of the so-called “recurrent” method by forming scientific and R&D technical tasks for students as well as their engagement in the implementation of software and hardware for mobile robots, including special robotics. One of the big problems in education is to avoid the gap between theory and practice, interest and formal studying. Here, we mainly consider the scientific and technical support of this education process. It should be emphasized, that the key scientific and technical problems and its’ decision, presented in the paper, were to find optimal decomposition and standardization of software/hardware and construction of the required software (“middleware”), implementation of mobile robots. The suggested solution in didactics was to transform the theoretical courses for students into creative educational tasks in the field of mobile robotics. This was performed by creating proper methodological materials tested in 5 universities and required to solve of engineering tasks: construction of efficient mobile robots (MRs) and their group control in the virtual laboratory; elaboration of scientific and educational tasks for students, taken from our practice in extreme robotics. We consider the scientific/technical support of this education process.
