12 12  One could propose to hire more staff members to ensure that every person in the care home gets the chance to perform daily leisurely activities at least semi-autonomously. But limited funding makes this solution hard to implement. To mitigate the issues posed by the aforementioned solution, our work explores the options of a robotic aide for people with dementia.

14 14  **Problem Scenario**
15 -Constantijn lives in a care home. He is often frustrated with the lack of activities he can undertake by himself. Although he realizes that he has early-stage dementia, and doing activities without supervision could become problematic for him, he feels too capable and proud to truly enjoy the group activities that are organized in the care home. His favourite activity is going for a walk, but he needs to make sure that Stefan, who is the activity coordinator, has a person available to go on a walk with him. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen as often as he would like, resulting in Constantijn often sulking the day away in his room.
15 +Cornelia lives in a care home. She is often frustrated with the lack of activities he can undertake by herself. Although she realises that she has early-stage dementia, and doing activities without supervision could become problematic for her, she feels too capable and proud to truly enjoy the group activities that are organized in the care home. Furthermore, she is an introverted person, and does not love group activities. Her favourite activity is going for a walk, but she needs to make sure that Stefan, who is the activity coordinator, has time to go on a walk with her. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen as often as she would like, resulting in Cornelia often sulking the day away in his room.

17 17  **Design Scenario**
18 -Constantijn decides that he wants to go take a walk after lunchtime. He finds Stefan, the activity coordinator, and asks her if he can go on a walk. Stefan then gets MiRo, a dog-like robot. She tells Constantijn that he can take MiRo for a walk, and Constantijn gladly accepts. Together with Stefan, he plans a route around the care home.
19 -Stefan puts a wristband on Constantijn and explains to him that he can use it to call for help and that this will help the MiRo to stay close to him. Then, the two are off. Whenever Constantijn gets distracted and deviates too much from the route, the wristband vibrates, redirecting him to follow the guidance of the MiRo. Upon returning back home, Constantijn feels a sense of accomplishment and is more in control of his own life.
