Abstract

With the constant penetration of automation and robotics in industrial contexts, the nature of human tasks and involvement with technology is changing. The increasing intelligence and sophistication of systems enables human operators to not only manually operate them ("in-theloop"), but also to transition into a supervisory role ("on-the-loop"), where machines are monitored sporadically and over a distance. Various models within and across application areas to categorize the degree of automation and human involvement therein have been proposed. This paper investigates “the human in the loop”, by revisiting previous considerations of this term and by placing it into the context of human automation interaction in the production sector. Examples of current research projects are provided, in order to critically reflect on the relevance of the “Human-in-the-Loop” concept in the innovation of automated production processes.
