Abstract: The development history of rock mechanics test equipment has been explained briefly, the research and development process of independent innovation of the rock mechanics backpack laboratory of the Data-Intelligence and Internet of Things (IOT) is introduced, and the advantages of this equipment compared with traditional equipment are summarized. The rock mechanics backpack laboratory can greatly improve the work efficiency and the level of informatization, and the working site is more convenient and intelligent. The new concept of backpack laboratory provides new idea for practical engineering. Compared with traditional experiments, it saves time, personnel cost and consumption of materials. It is the future development direction of engineering instruments and the development trend of the industry.
