Machine-based communication and feedback systems

Humans as social beings depend on personal relationships as well as on communication with others and reliable partners in order to appropriately develop individual skills and abilities (Fröhlich/Haupt 1987; Mall 1995; Renner 2004). In addition to perception, attention, learning, memory, thinking and problem-solving, the ability to communicate both linguistically and non-linguistically strongly determines the extent of an active and self-determined lifestyle and the extent to which, and the way, people are able to participate in everyday life (in public, in professional life, with friends and family) and to experience social recognition.
