One of the implications of Industry 4.0 is the emergence of a new collaboration between humans, robots and virtual agents as teams - robots are no competitors, but typically take over tasks that are time-consuming, harmful or even extremely dangerous for humans.

The article describes the organization and properties of Hybrid Teams and proposes a system architecture that is based on experiences from the ongoing research project HyScoiaTea (FKZ 01IW14001, BMBF).
