Obviously no, unless you know the owner of the wrong address and he/she/them willing to return it to you.

This is why I prefer to use my smart phone's camera when making a payment. It can never go wrong... Unless someone here experienced it?

No, Blockchain transactions are irreversible.

automatically no because you can't recover what you don't know... it can only be possible if an only if the wallet you sent the token is well known or is your neighbor's address which you can plead to him to send it back to you if is possible, whereas when he refuses you have no one to blame of missing token or BTC and ETH, so the only thing you can do is to forget about it wen send to wrong address.

Just let it go. Next time you should double check your address, like the first 3 digit, 3 digits in the middle, and the last 3 digit it will be better if you make it as a habit. It also helps in case your PC attacked by clipboard hijacker malware.
