Bot Appétit! Exploring how Robot Morphology Shapes Perceived Affordances via a Mise en Place Scenario in a VR Kitchen
This study explores which factors of the visual design of a robot may influence how humans would place it in a collaborative cooking scenario and how these features may influence task delegation. Human participants were placed in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment and asked to set up a kitchen for cooking alongside a robot companion while considering the robot's morphology. We collected multimodal data for the arrangements created by the participants, transcripts of their think-aloud as they we…

Automorphism groups of solvable groups of finite abelian ranks
The $\mathbb{Q}$-algebraic hull of a virtually polycyclic group $Γ$ is an important tool to study its group of automorphisms $\Aut(Γ)$ using linear algebraic groups. For example, it was used by Baues and Grünewald to prove that $\Out(Γ)$ is an arithmetic group, although $\Aut(Γ)$ is not for a general virtually polycyclic group. The original definition due to Mostow was generalized to the class of virtually solvable groups of finite abelian ranks by Arapura and Nori to study Kähler manifol…
