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. 9 9 10 -Another, very different example of a dog-like robot, is the [[SonyAibo>>https://electronics.sony.com/more/aibo/p/ers1000]].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.10 +Another, very different example of a dog-like robot, is the AIBO.

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. 13 13
