Abstract :
In the 1992 IEMT15S Proceedings Louisiana State University (LSU) presented the outlines for an initiative in mechatronics engineering. Progress, developments, and changes of the past year are discussed. The emphasis of the program has grown from mechatronic products to integrated manufacturing systems. The broader focus includes the multi-disciplinary concepts of mechatronics, but adds larger scale interaction and intelligence. The LSU facility is composed of a network of manufacturing systems or cells which interact to form a multi-cell facility. Demonstrations, student instructional laboratories, and graduate research use and contribute to continued growth
