A method for operating a numerical controlled machine comprising receiving a sequence of control commands which, when executed by a numerical controlled machine, cause the numerical controlled machine to machine a workpiece to obtain a predetermined workpiece geometry, wherein the sequence of control commands includes while machining the workpiece based on the received sequence of control commands measuring a value of a first interaction parameter for a first position of the tool, comparing a measured value of the first interaction parameter for the first position of the tool with the simulated value of the first interaction parameter for the first position of the tool, and determining an adapted value of the second interaction parameter for a following position of the tool based on a result of the comparison.

A method for operating a technical system in an environment is disclosed, wherein the technical system can be moved, as a whole or in parts, in the environment by a motor. A person controls movements of the technical system in the environment at least temporarily. The technical system has a steering assistance system which a) observes the environment using sensors and, depending on the observed environment, determines reference movement courses for the technical system for future time intervals, b) registers movement courses of the technical system actually controlled by the person in the time intervals, c) carries out a comparison between the reference movement courses and the movement courses actually controlled, and d) depending on the comparison result, assigns one of a plurality of steering quality levels to the person. This allows greater safety in the operation of technical systems which are controlled by people in the environment.
