Title: Application of Artificial Intelligence, to Improve the Its Concept, (intelligent transport systems). A Specific Study in the City of Campinas, In the Search of a Smart City

Abstract:  The fertility rate in the country, Brazil, fell from 6.16 children per woman to just 1.57 children in just over seven decades, from 1940 to 2014. In contrast, the population's life expectancy increased by 41.7 years in just over a century. In 1900, life expectancy was 33.7 years, making a significant leap in just over 11 decades, reaching 75.4 years in 2014. (AGÊNCIA BRASIL, 2016)

According to the UN (United Nations Organizations), currently, 55% of the world's population lives in urban areas and this proportion is expected to increase to 70% by 2050. In this context, cities would be having to assume more active roles in contributing to the national government initiatives to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs. (ONU NEWS, 2019)

Technology has invaded different market segments and helped in the operation of different processes and tasks. There are different tools, systems, and software that meet the needs of daily work very efficiently, allowing the organization's professionals to become more strategic for the company in a super ergonomic work environment. (PROLABORE)

It is of fundamental importance to use data to make assertive decisions, thus prospecting a more qualified scenario for the benefits of all involved. (THE NEW YORK TIMES, 2012)

The present work has as its principle the realization of research with scope in the city of Campinas, located in the state of São Paulo. The objective is to analyze in an automated way the Ergonomic aspect of a public transport user in the municipality, specifically bus line No. 337, (Barão Geraldo Terminal / UNICAMP (State University of Campinas) chosen for its importance and demand, mainly used by professionals and students from Unicamp and Barão Geraldo. This line can be replicated to other lines in the city, other municipalities in the MRC (Metropolitan Region of Campinas), and even other municipalities in Brazil and abroad. It was chosen for its importance in the region, and for being an intelligent line. To achieve the objective of this work, a descriptive and comparative analysis method was used, taking into account the perspective of the city's public sector. With this, it is intended to take the reflection to the public administration of the city. To achieve smart public transport, it is necessary to achieve more sustainable, qualified, efficient, and comfortable development for its customers and third parties.

Title: Mathematical Structures in Signal Processing and Data Mining

Abstract:  Linear algebra, multivariate calculus, applied probability and statistics, and convex optimizations are well-established mathematical tools that have been used extensively in many signal processing and data mining applications. They led to developing a wide range of effective numerical algorithms for processing the longitudinal and other higher dimensional data that are organized in vectors and matrices. On the other hand, there are many other mathematical structures such as graphs, tensors, manifolds and so on, which can be used as structures for keeping numerical values. In this talk, I will introduce simplexes in graph signal processing, explain how tensors are different from high-dimensional matrices, define manifolds and topological spaces, and finish with a brief overview of category theory. All these topics can likely enable a new generation of more sophisticated signal processing techniques and methods.

Title: Development of Human-centered Service Robots based on AI Technologies

Abstract:  With the development of artificial intelligence technology, robots have started to be applied in industries, restaurants, hospitals, shops etc., for kinds of services like working or attracting customers. Most of the robot have their special tasks, and they can finish the tasks as well as avoid colliding with other pedestrians or objects. However, the human beings may have further requirements to the robot that they are asked to provide services considerately, both for the users and the other human beings around. Human-centered design for service robot has been noticed and developed. In this talk, human-centered designs for different kinds of service robots will be introduces including autonomous delivery robot, guide robot, hearing robot, cleaning robot etc., to show the different results and effectiveness of the service robots comparing with conventional ones. The considerate working ways can improve the social acceptances of service robots greatly and make the robot easier to be applied in human daily life.
