The increasing automation of agricultural machinery leads to fluctuating phases of mental underload and overload for operators, impairing performance, safety, and well-being. This dissertation evaluates an adaptive assistance system that monitors and regulates mental strain in real time. Using a combine harvester, multimodal sensor data trained a model to classify mental states. A virtual assistant provides task recommendations. Studies show improved strain regulation and practical applicability.
