• Title: Interspecies Collaboration in the Design of Visual Identity: A Case Study
• Abstract summary: The Regional Center of Excellence for Robotic Technology (CRTA) opened on 750 m2 in June 2021 within the University of Zagreb. The visual identity of the Center comprises three separately devised elements, each representative of the human-AI relationship. As CRTA embodies a state-of-the-art venue for robotics research, the 'interspecies' approach was used to accentuate the importance of human-robot collaboration.

• Abstract: Design usually relies on human ingenuity, but the past decade has seen the field's toolbox expanding to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its adjacent methods, making room for hybrid, algorithmic creations. This article aims to substantiate the concept of interspecies collaboration - that of natural and artificial intelligence - in the active co-creation of a visual identity, describing a case study of the Regional Center of Excellence for Robotic Technology (CRTA) which opened on 750 m2 in June 2021 within the University of Zagreb. The visual identity of the Center comprises three separately devised elements, each representative of the human-AI relationship and embedded in the institution's logo. Firstly, the letter "C" (from the CRTA acronym) was created using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) applied to (x, y) coordinates that the neurosurgical robot RONNA, CRTA's flagship innovation, generated when hand-guided by a human operator. The second shape of the letter "C" was created by using the same (x, y) coordinates as inputs fed to a neural network whose goal was to output letters in a novel, AI-generated typography. A basic feedforward back-propagating neural network with two hidden layers was chosen for the task. The final and third design element was a trajectory the robot RONNA makes when performing a brain biopsy. As CRTA embodies a state-of-the-art venue for robotics research, the 'interspecies' approach was used to accentuate the importance of human-robot collaboration which is at the core of the newly opened Center, illustrating the potential of reciprocal and amicable relationship that humans could have with technology.

  This paper presents an extension of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) meta-heuristic to solve the Minimum Time Search (MTS) task. The proposed model consists of two main blocks. The first one is a convolutional neural network (CNN) that provides the prior probabilities about where an object may be from a segmented image. The second one is the Sub-prior MTS-ACO algorithm (SP-MTS-ACO), which takes as inputs the prior probabilities and the particular search preferences of the agents in different sub-priors to generate search plans for all agents.
