GRK 2323: Conducive Design of Cyber-physical Production Systems

RTG专注于人类操作员与网络物理生产系统（CPPS）技术之间合作的有利设计。CPPS由网络连接的数字（网络）和物理系统组件的组合组成。它们的架构允许在最短的时间尺度上进行系统更改，由此产生的灵活性需要人类和自动化的新水平的自适应决策和行动。目前的研究主要是从技术的角度来探讨这方面的问题。建议的RTG补充这些方法，强调以人为本的设计CPPS的方法。核心研究问题是如何通过人类和机器提供的独特潜力的结合来实现整个社会技术系统的最佳性能。RTG的主要目标是就CPPS的有益设计如何影响人类操作员的能力、健康和信任提供科学见解。三个专题组将是关注的焦点：适应战略的变化，能力的发展和维护，以及人类状态的评估和评价。为了解决与这三个集群有关的问题，跨学科研究小组将联合收割机结合和调整迄今为止只在相对独立的研究传统范围内考虑的理论概念。它将开发新的方法，并在原型系统中对其进行评估，为制定适当的干预措施提供经验基础。研究CPPS在两个应用领域的设计-加工工业和移动的农业系统-将允许概括的见解，以广泛的CPPS域。跨学科资格课程提供本地以及国际指导和培训。它包括反映和讨论不同学科的目标，价值观和方法的座谈会，以及工程科学和心理学交叉的课程。此外，它还为RTG的博士研究人员提供了多种机会，与当地和国际专家分享和讨论他们的工作。为了促进跨学科的合作和交流，RTG被组织为围绕参与研究人员的设计和评估实验室的项目之家。此外，每个博士研究员由来自不同学科的两名参与研究人员监督。通过该计划，博士研究人员将获得有关学科科学传统的知识和能力，同时将受益于学科之间接口研究所提供的创新潜力。

The RTG focuses on the Conducive Design of the cooperation between human operators and technology in cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). CPPS consist of a combination of net-work-connected digital (cyber) and physical system components. Their architecture allows for sys-tem changes on shortest time scales, with the resulting flexibility requiring a new level of adaptive decision-making and action by humans and automation. Current research agendas are mainly dis-cussing this aspect from a technical perspective. The proposed RTG complements these approaches with an emphasis on methods for the human-centered design of CPPS. The core research question is how to achieve optimal performance of the entire socio-technical system via the combination of the unique potentials provided by humans and machines. The RTG’s main goal is to contribute scientific insights on how the conducive design of CPPS influences competencies, health and trust of human operators. Three thematic clusters will be in the fo-cus of interest: adaptation strategies for changeability, the development and maintenance of competencies, as well as the assessment and evaluation of human states. To address issues related to the three clusters, the interdisciplinary research team will combine and adapt theoretical concepts that so far have only been considered within the boundaries of relatively independent research traditions. It will develop new methods and evaluate them in prototypical systems to provide an empirical basis for deriving suitable interventions. Studying the design of CPPS in two application domains – process industries and mobile agricultural systems – will allow for generalizing the insights to a wide range of CPPS domains. The interdisciplinary qualification programme offers local as well as international mentoring and training. It includes colloquia for reflecting and discussing goals, values, and methods of the different disciplines, as well as courses at the intersection of engineering sciences and psychology. Further-more, it provides manifold opportunities for the RTG’s doctoral researchers to share and discuss their work with local and international experts. To promote interdisciplinary collaboration and communication, the RTG is organized as a project house around the participating researchers’ design and evaluation laboratories. Moreover, each doctoral researcher is supervised by two participat-ing researchers from different disciplines. With this programme, the doctoral researchers will acquire knowledge and competencies regarding the scientific traditions of the disciplines, and at the same time will benefit from the innovative potential provided by the research at the interfaces between disciplines.
