4 4  As described in [[objectives>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Objectives/]], our goal is to give patients with dementia the autonomy and capability to take walks on their own, whenever they want. Three robots were made available to help us in achieving this goal: NAO, Pepper and MiRo. This section contains a description of our considerations in choosing a robot suitable for our objectives, after which we describe the capabilities of the chosen robot.

6 -Although [[Nao>>https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/nao]] is a cute, humanoid robot that could allow for nice interactions with our patients, it can only move by walking on its small robot legs. As our main goal is to facilitate walks, this robot did not seem suitable as its walking speed is low and it is likely to fall over with small bumps.

8 8  [[Pepper>>https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/pepper]] is a larger humanoid robot with wheels, therefore not having the same problem NAO has. It has fully movable arms and a tablet on its chest, allowing for detailed interactions including gestures and user input. Although these features are nice, they are not required for our goal. These features also mean that Pepper is quite large, taking up a lot of space in each room or corridor.
