BRAIN Journal-Brain-Like Artificial Intelligence for Automation-Figure 1. Examples for Today Well Manageable and not yet Well Manageable Processes in Automation

<p>Despite the many progresses that have been achieved in automation and AI over the last decades, applications have mainly been successful for circumscribed, well-defined tasks in environments that are relatively specific, well-structured, and characterized by a limited number of possible occurring processes, states, and ways how to react to them [59]. There, technical solutions can even exceed certain human capabilities. The situation changes however if we switch to systems that should perform a broader range of tasks in less well-structured environments. Here, the limits of technical feasibility are being stretched to the utmost [7]. This fact is probably best illustrated by<br> the following two concrete examples in Figure 1.</p>
