1		-When **Anna** is organizing entertaining events for the PwD in the care center, she finds that there are so many things to do and can barely pay enough attention to the patients. **Anna** decides to initiate the robot to help her with organizing the recreational activity in which **Mary** will participate later. The robot will check with each PwD if they have understood what to do and if not, explain it to them. Besides, the robot will start up random conversations with the PwD to make sure they will enjoy themselves during activities. With the robot put into use, **Mary** feels better as her social needs have been fulfilled and the activity went smoothly under the guidance of the robot and A**nna**. When **Peter** comes to visit **Mary** later, he finds that his wife is no longer frustrated like before, he also becomes happier.

	4	+Anna and Peter discuss and reach the conclusion that an autonomous assistant for Mary would be the best solution for the problems. They decide to use a humanoid robot, which would live with Mary and remind her of her daily tasks. As there are sometimes events that Mary needs to attend, and days when she should do different activities, the reminders robot should be customizable. When the robot is first introduced to Mary, she has the opportunity to pick some music pieces to associate with the reminders. Rather than having someone (the robot) tell her what to do, this could be only implied by the music played. There is, of course, the issue that Mary now has to remember the music, but this can also happen over time, and the robot will also try to help her make and reinforce this link. During day-to-day life, the robot plays the music when the task needs to be done, and asks Mary about the corresponding activity, after which she can confirm whether or not she has done it already. Mary can also play with the robot, in order to get better at memorizing the music associated with tasks.
