Within the last decades automation has become a central technological strategy. Automation technologies have penetrated into several fields of application, for example, industrial production of goods, selling of tickets in the field of public transport, and light control in the domestic environment, where it has shaped our daily life and work situation.
Work automatons have liberated man from processing dangerous or inadequate work, on the one hand. Since automatons continue to accomplish more demanding functions, which had previously been accomplished by man himself, the meaning of human work is challenged, on the other. This question has already been elaborated on at the beginning of the en-

Over the last few decades, automation has developed into a central technological strategy. Automation technologies augment human life in many different fields. However, after having an unrealistic vision of fully automated production, we came to the realization that automation would never be able to replace man completely, but rather support him in his work. A contemporary model is the human-oriented design of an automated man–machine system. Here, the technology helps man to accomplish his tasks and enables him at the same time to expand his capacities. In addition to traditional usage in industrial process automation nowadays automation technology supports man through the help of smarter, so to speak, bett
