12	12	The commercially available Joy for All companion pets include cats and dogs. They are far more affordable than more advanced robots on the market and are therefore more easily introduced in a real care home. [[Thunberg et al., 2022>>https://doi-org.tudelft.idm.oclc.org/10.1007/978-3-030-62056-1_51]]. These commercially available robots are usually focussed on Snoezelen and letting PwD pet them. They have a very limited amount of movement. Some of these robots include: Paro Robot which is a seal-like robot which can move its head and tail, the NeCoRo and justtocat which are cat-like fluffy robots which can lay on ones lap and finally the cuddler which is a teddy bear robot.

14		-Although MiRo was the most desirable choice of the available robots, it is not perfect for our use case. MiRo is frail robot that cannot withstand any handling rougher than soft touches. As described in functions, we ideally would want a physical connection to the dog so that the PwD does not lose focus when walking with MiRo. However, given the frailty of MiRo, a physical attachment would likely result in damaging a €2.400 robot. Next to this, MiRo can only be used inside as it cannot go up steps or walk on any rough terrain. With the right robot, PwD could also take walks outside for example. The final feature that we want to implement is Snoezelen with the robot. Our ideas for this are outlined in the Future work section of the [[conclusion>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Main/Conclusion/]]

The final feature that we want to implement is Snoezelen with the robot. We have noticed during the test sessions with MiRo that MiRo is too frail to touch. When the head is touched, the neck will accidentally move, which could damage the kinetic motor if the person would not be careful enough.
