The control method according to claim 1, characterized in that: The environmental sensing module is a system comprising at least one multi-directional binocular stereo camera, a microphone, sensors for measuring parameters such as temperature, concentration, and light intensity, and a wireless communication module.

9. The control method according to claim 1, characterized in that: The working process of the system is as follows: the environmental sensing module captures real-time video of the laboratory and transmits it wirelessly to the virtual display module, and displays it in three dimensions to the user. The user conducts experiments based on the real-time three-dimensional images. The electromyography sensing module collects the hand posture of the user during movement to perform accurate hand modeling, which is encoded and encrypted by the remote information module and wirelessly transmitted to the control machine module. The machine device performs specified actions according to the decrypted instructions, and transmits the touch information received by the smart skin back to the electromyography sensing module to give the user a response. At the same time, the effect information of the experiment is fed back to the virtual display module in real time, and the experiment is evaluated through target recognition by the remote information module.
