 abstract = {The {CoTeSys} cluster of excellence investigates cognition for technical
	systems such as vehicles, robots, and factories. Cognitive technical
	systems ({CTS)} are information processing systems equipped with
	artificial sensors and actuators, integrated and embedded into physical
	systems, and acting in a physical world. They differ from other technical
	systems as they perform cognitive control and have cognitive capabilities.
	Cognitive control orchestrates reflexive and habitual behavior in
	accord with longterm intentions. Cognitive capabilities such as perception,
	reasoning, learning, and planning turn technical systems into systems
	that “know what they are doing”. The cognitive capabilities will
	result in systems of higher reliability, flexibility, adaptivity,
	and better performance. They will be easier to interact and cooperate
	with.},
