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 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.

5 -Although MiRo was the most desirable choice of the available robots, it is not perfect for our use case. It had many limitations, which are described in section [[Humanoid Robot>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Foundation/Technology/Humanoid%20Robot/]]. To give an idea of alternative robots that could (partly) achieve our goals, the next section contains an overview of similar, dog-like robots.

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 terrains, such as slopes and height differences. However, this robot is extremely expensive and therefore not feasible to use for our use objectives.
