35	35	Therefore, we claim the following:
36	36	1. A PwD experiences an increase in perceived autonomy compared to walking with a caretaker.
	37	+
37	37	This shows the focus of research is on overall support of patients in and possibly outside of our activity.
38	38	Next we have other claims that support this by:
39	39
40	40	2. A PwD feels increased freedom to take breaks and to interact in a social context during a walk with WAF in comparison with a caretaker
	42	+
41	41	Especially in the context of PwDs that have an increased feeling of being a burden for their caretakers a walk with WAF lowers the bar to engage in activities on a persons on volition. The dementia and age induced hindrances are partially alleviated with the guidance of either a caretaker or WAF. The induced dependence is intrinsically felt less for a robot than another human.
42	42
43	43	Our third and fourth claims are based on the particularities of MiRo being a doglike robot which specify a set of expectations somewhere in between dog behaviour and complex robot behaviour.
44	44	3. WAF can grab the attention of a PwD when needed and with minimal annoyance
	47	+
45	45	Through its expressive means, WAF can notify a user of the system. Movements of the ears, head, tail, eyes and body indicate attention and direction, but more direct cues such as light, sound and even vibration all aid in guiding the PwD back on track.
46	46	4. A PwD experiences minimal hindrance of WAF in terms of proximity and walking speed
	50	+
47	47	Where an actual dog would be able to adjust its movement to the dog owner during a walk, WAF needs to be able to tell when the MiRo should be closer to the PwD and when it can be further away.
48	48	The last two claims are based on our design that strikes a balance of typical doglike behaviour and an intelligent and guiding robot companion.
49	49
50	50	In order to support the claim, we will experimentally verify whether the MiRo can provide effective guidance on a pre-determined route and that the regained autonomy outweighs delayed assistance from human caretakers in case PwD find themselves in trouble during their walk. Our experimental setup is mentioned under: [[Test.WebHome]]

55	55	As snoezelen is considered as an additional function, none of the [[Foundation.Operational Demands.Personas.WebHome]] constructed have attributes that would make them more or less inclined to engage in Snoezelen. For the purpose of Snoezelen, we distinguish between two types of PwD. One that likes Snoezelen and one that does not.
