About
Felix Wilhelm Siebert is a researcher specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI), robot acceptance, and the social dynamics between humans and autonomous mobile systems in urban environments. His work sits at the intersection of psychology, robotics, and urban mobility, with a particular focus on how people perceive, accept, and interact with robots in everyday settings. Siebert's most influential contribution examines the proximal behavior of follow-me robots, exploring how distance and lateral offset shape user perception — a paper that has garnered 19 citations and established foundational insights into socially acceptable robot movement. His broader research portfolio investigates the psychological and design factors driving acceptance of personal assistance and delivery robots, including the roles of anthropomorphism, sociability, and technology affinity in shaping user attitudes. Beyond laboratory settings, Siebert has made meaningful strides in real-world applicability, identifying conflict zones between pedestrians and mobile robots on urban pathways and developing acceptance frameworks grounded in proximity theory. His 2021 work on autonomous personal driving robotic systems further demonstrates his commitment to practical urban mobility challenges. With over 45 cumulative citations across his publications, Siebert's research provides valuable guidance for designers, policymakers, and engineers working to integrate robots responsibly into shared human spaces.
