abstract: In a collaborative environment where multiple robots and human beings are expected to collaborate to perform a task, it becomes essential for a robot to be aware of multiple agents working in its work environment. A robot must also learn to adapt to different agents in the workspace and conduct its interaction based on the presence of these agents. A theoretical framework was introduced which performs interaction learning from demonstrations in a two-agent work environment, and it is called Interaction Primitives. This document is an in-depth description of the new state of the art Python Framework for Interaction Primitives between two agents in a single as well as multiple task work environment and extension of the original framework in a work environment with multiple agents doing a single task. The original theory of Interaction Primitives has been extended to create a framework which will capture correlation between more than two agents while performing a single task. The new state of the art Python framework is an intuitive, generic, easy to install and easy to use python library which can be applied to use the Interaction Primitives framework in a work environment. This library was tested in simulated environments and controlled laboratory environment. The results and benchmarks of this library are available in the related sections of this document. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Computer Science 2017

nÃo hà / O objetivo deste trabalho à apresentar o conceito de determinantes no nÃvel secundÃrio a fim de mostrar suas origens e algumas demonstraÃÃes que sÃo omitidas nos livros didÃticos. Desenvolvemos a ideia dos determinantes de ordem 2 auxiliados pelos sistemas lineares de duas equaÃÃes e duas variÃveis, associando matrizes quadradas e mostrando na sua resoluÃÃo o denominador comum que se apresenta no cÃlculo de cada variÃvel. Apresentamos a mesma ideia para os determinantes de ordem 3, associando a um sistema linear 3 por 3 para, em seguida demonstrar a regra de Sarrus e comparÃ-la com a definiÃÃo geral de determinantes dada por Laplace. No Ãltimo capÃtulo apresentamos a definiÃÃo de determinantes usando permutaÃÃes sobre linhas ou colunas com o intuito de facilitar as demonstraÃÃes de algumas propriedades importantes que simplificam o cÃlculo de determinantes de ordem superior a 3. Ainda neste capÃtulo finalizamos com exercÃcios resolvidos de algumas questÃes consideradas complexas cuja soluÃÃo fica bastante facilitada com o uso das propriedades. / The goal of this work is to present the concept of determinants in high-school level in order to show its origins and to formulate some demonstrations which are omitted in school books. The concept of second order determinants were developed using two equations and two variables linear systems, associating them to square matrices and exhibiting the common denominator which results from the calculation of each variable. The same idea was applied to develop third order determinants, this time associating with a 3 equations in 3 variables linear system to, then, demonstrate the rule of Sarrus and compare it with the general definition for determinants introduced by Laplace. In the last chapter, itâs presented the definition of determinants using permutations in rows or columns in order to favor the demonstration of some important properties which simplify the calculation of determinants of order greater than 3. The chapter ends with the resolution of some complex questions whose calculation is much easier with the use of those properties.

Therefore, we seek support in the liberal democratic theory in order to guide us as to the characteristics and the limits that this model offers to the contemporary democracy. Besides, we focus on the national political context that precedes the demonstrations occurred between October 2014 and March 2015 so as to understand in which extent the current demonstrations, focused on anti-corruption and antipetismo, were influenced by previous events such as the corruption scandals concerning the Workers Party (PT). For this reason, this research is characterized as an exploratory work that analyzes the factors that contributed or led the individuals to identify themselves as a group and to participate actively in the demonstration. We noticed that the questions raised can be associated to the corruption scandals and to the lack of benefits received by the traditional middle class during the time PT governed the country, not to mention the ideological setting. The demonstrations had their goals at exposing the corruption reports related to the Workers Party, diminishing the attention about corruption involving either other political parties or other instances of power. Furthermore, observed that there were no deep discussions and propositions made by the people who led those public acts; and also, the active citizenship expressed by these citizens is limited to the act of emphasizing their frustration and to demand the impeachment of the current president. / Em decorrência das novas características apresentadas pelo cenário democrático brasileiro, provocado principalmente pela presença de manifestações críticas ao governo federal, tivemos como principal objetivo neste trabalho desenvolver uma reflexão sobre que tipo de democracia se faz presente nas ruas brasileiras. Para tanto, buscamos apoio na teoria democrática liberal, no sentido de orientar sobre as características e os limites que esse modelo oferece à democracia contemporânea. Além disso, nos voltamos ao contexto político nacional que precede as manifestações ocorridas entre outubro de 2014 e março de 2015, com o objetivo de compreender em que medida o contexto prévio do Partido dos Trabalhadores e o seu envolvimento em escândalos de corrupção influenciam nas manifestações atuais, pautadas na anticorrupção e no antipetismo. Este trabalho é de caráter explicativo e busca analisar e interpretar os fatores que contribuíram ou induziram os sujeitos a se identificarem entre si e a participarem ativamente na formação das manifestações, questões que podem estar associadas aos escândalos de corrupção e à falta de benefícios ou ganhos concedidos à classe média tradicional na gestão petista, como também à determinação ideológica. As manifestações se mostram com o foco voltado às denúncias de corrupção feitas em relação ao Partido dos Trabalhadores, diminuindo a atenção sobre a corrupção cometida por outros partidos ou outras instâncias de poder. Além disso, não existe aprofundamento de discussão e propostas por parte de sujeitos que conduzem as ações públicas; a cidadania ativa expressa por esses cidadãos fica restrita ao ato de evidenciar a sua frustração e pedir a saída da atual presidenta da República.
