Prof. Dr. António Moniz, Dr. Bettina-Johanna Krings: Social conditions of human-machine interaction

Social conditions of human-machine interaction: decision, control, qualification

Due to the ongoing technical advancements in robotics, new organizational and occupational impacts are expected in different sectors. The contribution of António Moniz and Bettina-Johanna Krings focuses on the social conditions under which technology is embedded into production processes. Thus, social distribution processes, demographic change, sustainability becomes more and more important when reflecting about "technology futures".

In particular they will ask:

• How does automation change work & working conditions?
• Which expectations on technology are strengthen-ing the concepts of work?
• Which regulations and ethics principles must be considered (safety, autonomy, control)?
• Which new competences and qualification dimen-sions will be raised for non-routine tasks in auto-mated environments?
• Which new types of human-machine interaction can be developed with increased cyber-physical system application at the shopfloor?
