English abstract:
Process - and manufacturing automation as well as robotics are currently one of the fast growing fields in automation. Advanced process control, cyber-physical systems, industry 4.0 and "advanced robots" are not longer a headline. They are in realization. As a consequence of these developments new social, ethical and human questions appear.

Therefore this contribution is a first trial to merge selected items from the scope of the IF AC TC TECIS with these new questions. As a result first ideas to solve these problems are presented and shortly discussed. Finally suggestions for further research topics are given

Keywords:
