  A feature that we like to get from other robots that we would use for a new prototype would be legs that would be able to go up steps. For example the legs from the Boston Dynamics Robot (todo cite).
  We also took a look at other doglike robots.
++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.

++Another 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.
