“…That is, they can provide an equipped environment to then take the opportunity to facilitate and promote the processes of, for example, providing an experimental foundation for understanding theoretical concepts, conducting practical tests, carrying out scientific research, developing innovation, advancing technologies according to current demands, and developing students' skills, i.e., problem-solving and critical-thinking skills [16]. As the demands and expectations of industries, academia, and users are continually changing, the new generation of labs (e.g., industrial automation laboratories [17], living labs [16], virtual cloud labs [18], digital labs [19], and virtual reality labs [20]) are accordingly evolving. Smart Lab (as another example) is, indeed, a supportive environment, high-performance laboratory, and open workspace equipped with needed Toolkits and tools designed to enable and expedite safe and efficient world-class science and experimentation [21], as well as enhance effective communication and successful engagement in instruction, curriculum, and learning [22].…”
