Abstract
A multi-functional task force composed of researchers with chemical, m aterials testing, and math/computer expertises successfully combined a robot-assisted mechanical tester with a laboratory information manage ment system (LIMS) to perform flexural testing of plastics. The succes sful interfacing with an existing LIMS permitted us to take advantage of a new technology - laboratory robotics. The structuring of this 'op erator emulator' system, along with appropriate background information , is described.
