A vector image depicting, on the left, the hand of a humanoid robot reaching out, almost touching, the profile of a human head on the right. Inside the head, the brain is visible with a network of nodes and connections, symbolising the concept of empathy in therapeutic processes aimed at mental health. The therapist could be either an interactive AI conversational agent or a human therapist.

A vector image featuring, on the left, the profile of a humanoid robot's face with its index finger touching its temple. On the right, the silhouette of a human brain is depicted within a blue circle, intersected by a dense network of connections, symbolising the concept of episodic memory inherent in mammalian brains, replicated within an artificial intelligence system.
#Tech
An image depicting a computer screen with two human faces prominently displayed. The face on the left is overlaid with graphic lines and dots, suggesting the use of artificial intelligence techniques for image manipulation and deepfake generation.
#Tech
Image that portrays two technicians, one on the right and one on the left, while they program a robotic arm - in the center - with the intent of a company, to evoke the robotic learning policies with which to train the machines.

A vector image depicting swarms of spherical microrobots (in light yellow) capturing microplastics (small white spheres) and bacteria (green filaments) during a water purification procedure [credit: Adapted from ACS Nano 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c02115].
#Science
Image featuring a close-up of green leaves placed above a glass of breast milk, symbolising the Nicotiana benthamiana genetically modified by the research team from the University of California Berkeley and the University of California Davis, to produce human milk oligosaccharides.
#Tech
An image depicting a drone flying over the rocky peaks of a mountain range, highlighting the challenges faced by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) during search and rescue operations in rugged terrains, where the main issue is route planning.
#Science
A 3D image of cancer cells in the foreground, overlaid with a large circle featuring degrees and radians, evoking the use of computational techniques to analyse and classify them.
#Tech
An image depicting a close-up shot on a dark table: to the left, a black wooden judge's gavel, and to the right, the hand of a humanoid robot writing on some papers placed in the centre. This evokes the concept of moral reasoning in artificial intelligence systems used in the legal field, particularly for applications related to sentencing.
