| 1 | In this chapter, we discuss what the capabilities of MiRo are with regard to audio and how we designed WAF to use these. | ||

| 3 | The MiRo does feature speakers that one could stream music to. WAF will, however, never use them to actually play music. Since WAF is supposed to act like a dog, playing music on it would feel unnatural and may decrease its ability for the user to form a bond with it. It might also be a source of sound pollution for the other residents and caretakers of the care center. | ||

| 5 | WAF will use the speakers to play a variety of sounds. During walks, it will make ambient sounds that simulate the footsteps of a real dog. It is also able to make excited noises when it is walking with the user and everything is going well. Additionally, it can play [[an alarm sound, similar to the siren of an ambulance>>https://youtu.be/oJkaYd2YlKo]], in case the user falls and can't get up or some other similar emergency occurs. |
