The Transregional Collaborative Research Centre SFB/TRR 62 "A Companion Technology for Cognitive Technical Systems", funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at Ulm and Magdeburg sites, deals with the systematic and interdisciplinary study of cognitive abilities and their implementation in technical systems. The properties of multimodality, individuality, adaptability, availability, cooperativeness and trustworthiness are at the focus of the investigation. These characteristics show a new type of interactive device which is not only practical and efficient to operate, but as well agreeable, hence the term "companion". The realisation of such a technology is supported by technical advancement as well as by neurobiological findings. Companion technology has to consider the entire situation of the user, machine, environment and (if applicable) other people or third interacting parties, in current and historical states. This will reflect the mental state of the user, his embeddedness in the task, and how he is situated in the current process. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
