13 13  === 1.1 Starting the walk ===
14 14  MiRo can be programmed with various walking routes. We assumed that, in general, the patients with dementia are not able to choose and/or set up a good/suitable walking routes by themselves, and therefore we think that placing this responsibility at the activity coordinator is the best option. The coordinators can set up new walking routes through an online portal in which they can draw a route on a floor plan of their building. The coordinators can then create profiles for each of their patients to specify a walking plan containing suitable routes.

16 -The patient can start a walk by indicating to a caretaker that he/she wants to take a walk (for example in the form of a button). Once the patient presses the button, a caretaker will come to bring MiRo. The caretaker will also attach the proximity bracelet, see the next section for its description. MiRo will then either automatically choose a suitable route or get instructed by the coordinator for a specific route.

18 18  ==== 1.1.1 Proximity grip====
19 -To assist MiRo in ensuring the patient stays on route, the patient will wear proximity grip. The proximity grip is a small hand-held device which visually resembles a leash handle. It contains two main components: lights, vibration motor and a distance sensor. The distance sensor will communicate the patients' distance to MiRo with MiRo so that MiRo knows when the patient stops following him. When this happens, the lights and the vibration motor can be used to bring the attention of the patient back to MiRo.

21 21  Ideally, the proximity grip would be replaced with an actual leash as this would resemble walking a dog more and would ensure that a patient does not walk away from MiRo. However, due to the frailty of MiRo, this not possible. This is explained in more detail in [[Humanoid Robot>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Foundation/Technology/Humanoid%20Robot/]].

31 31  If the user is confused, these methods, combined with the leash they're holding, could remind them what they are doing. If the user is being stubborn, the excitement and begging motion from MiRo could convince them to keep walking.
