  abstract={This paper introduces the Intelligent Learning Platform for Robotics Operations (IL-PRO), a Virtual Reality (VR) system designed to enhance robotics training in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. IL-PRO addresses the growing need for effective training methods as the AEC sector adopts robotic automation. The system integrates VR technology with game-assisted learning, combining online multimedia lessons for theory with immersive VR tasks for practical skills. Developed iteratively using Design-Based Research principles, IL-PRO incorporates realistic robot simulations and progressive task complexity. The VR environment, built in Unity, aims to enhance engagement, motor coordination, and spatial awareness in robotics training. While future goals include AI-driven personalized instruction, this work-in-progress focuses on VR curriculum development and implementation. The paper concludes by discussing future directions, including curriculum expansion and cross-institutional adoption, to establish new benchmarks in innovative robotics education for the AEC industry.},
