1		-This section discusses what benefits our chosen robot, the [[MiRo>>https://www.miro-e.com/robot]], has 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.

3	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.

8	8	An example of a robot that could handle rough terrain, is the Boston Dynamics Robot [[Spot>>https://www.bostondynamics.com/products/spot]]. Its legs and sophisticated stability functions allow it to traverse difficult terrain, such as slopes and height differences. However, this robot is extremely expensive and therefore not feasible to use for our use objectives.

10		-Another, very different example of a dog-like robot, is the AIBO. AIBO is a doglike robot that acts like a dog. [[(Fujita M., 2001)>>https://journals-sagepub-com/doi/abs/10.1177/02783640122068092]]. This dog acts like a real dog, one needs to teach him commands and he will grow up like a regular dog. When the dog is petted, it will respond like a real dog. Features from this dog that are relevant are that it is able to listen to a name and that it will respond like a real dog. Unfortunately, this dog is not able to walk for a long time and is very slow when walking.

12	12	A different robot that might be of interest is the Guide Dog robot [[(Tachi et al., 1985)>>http://files.tachilab.org/publications/paper1900/tachi1985MIT.pdf]]. This is quite an old project where a robot was used as a guide dog. The problems encountered were mainly with object detection and how the information should be displayed to a blind user. As shown in the survey by Zou [[(Zou et al., 2019)>>https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.05055.pdf]] object detection improved quite a lot. In the case with people with dementia, we do not mainly focus on blind people and are not trying to be a guide dog, which mitigates the information displaying problem.
