Interaction of intelligent and autonomous systems – part II: realization of cognitive technical systems

Abstract

In this study, the application of a meta-modelling technique to structure complex environments is demonstrated with two examples. A special situation-operator model developed to model the human-machine-interaction is applied to automated supervision within the HMI context and to realize flexible and situated interaction of autonomous systems. A concept to automated monitoring of human operators is introduced to illustrate the structuring of complex environments as the first example. In the second example, this modelling technique is applied to a mobile robot to autonomously build and update a mental model of the interaction with the environment as an example of a cognitive technical system.
