1 -This section discusses how our chosen robot, the [[MiRo>>https://www.miro-e.com/robot]], could function as a robotic partner for people with dementia. The reason for our choice of this robot is given in section [[Humanoid Robot>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Foundation/Technology/Humanoid%20Robot/]]. Next to this, this section contains an overview of similar, dog-like robots that could be used to achieve our objectives as specified in the [[Objectives>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Objectives/]] section.
1 +Our chosen robotic partner is the [[MiRo>>https://www.miro-e.com/robot]] robot.

3 -Next to the practical reasons for which we chose [[MiRo>>https://www.miro-e.com/robot]] specified in [[Humanoid Robot>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Foundation/Technology/Humanoid%20Robot]], we also chose this robot because its dog-like properties support Patients with Dementia (PwD) to recall a collection of memories about a time where things went slower and were less complicated. It emphasizes on the PwD's need to connect with nature and themselves in peace [[(Han et al., 2015, p. 120)>>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1533317515598857]]. Although the MiRo has a limited range of expression, its limitations also make it more accessible for PwD. PwD tend to perform better with simple social interactions and with items that are similar to what they were used to before the onset.
