About
Bertolt Meyer is a researcher specializing in the social and psychological dimensions of embodied digital technologies (EDTs), with a particular focus on how humans perceive and interact with robots, prosthetic users, and telepresence systems. His work sits at a compelling intersection of social psychology, human-robot interaction, and legal theory, addressing pressing questions about how emerging technologies are integrated into workplaces and everyday life. Meyer's most significant contributions center on developing robust theoretical and empirical frameworks for understanding EDT perception. Most notably, he created the Social Perception of Robots Scale (SPRS), a validated measurement tool designed to facilitate successful human-robot interaction — a resource that has already garnered 16 citations since its 2022 publication. His broader research program on EDTs, exploring dimensions such as anthropomorphism, technicality, and trustworthiness, has collectively accumulated over 70 citations, reflecting strong scholarly interest in his approach. A distinctive feature of Meyer's work is its interdisciplinary reach, bridging psychological perception research with social and legal acceptance questions — examining what qualities robots and prosthesis users must possess to be recognized as legitimate co-workers. His research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of hybrid human-machine societies.
