--However, given the limitations imposed by the design of MiRo described in [[Robotic Partner>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Foundation/Human%20Factors/Robotic%20Partner/]], snoezelen is not feasible. However, we do think that it could potentially be an interesting area for future work, as it could change the robot from a walking assistant to a robotic pet. Our ideas and findings on this can be found in future work [ADD REFERENCE]

  == 1. Walking with MiRo==
  Walking with the MiRo is divided in two functional parts: Starting the walk and guiding the patient on the path.

  It is possible that at some point on the walking route, the PwD stops following MiRo. The system will be able to detect this through the distance sensor and act upon this. First, MiRo will turn around and try to get the attention of the PwD by barking and flashing its colourful lights. If the PwD appears to follow MiRo again, it will resume the current path. If not, the PwD can either be moving away from MiRo or not moving at all.
--If the PwD moves away from MiRo, MiRo will follow them and keep trying to get their attention by making noises and flashing lights. MiRo can also (gently) block the users path, which should make it easier to get attention, as MiRo is now in the user's field of view. Once the user's attention is back at the MiRo, they should be convinced to turn back. This will be done mostly through emotions. MiRo will show excitement towards the correct path, by looking at it, taking some "steps" in its direction, making excited sounds, and wagging its tail. MiRo can also look at the user and tilt its head, similarly to how a dog would ask its owner to keep walking. 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. However, if the PwD diverts from their path too far, MiRo will alert a caretaker or the activity coordinator so that they can intervene. It will be up to the caretaker or activity coordinator to determine the degree of walking freedom a PwD is allowed on a walk.

(Is this last sentence needed? as the connection to wristband is probably enough as a limit)
  If the PwD does not walk further away from MiRo, we assume them to be taking a break either by resting or by talking with someone. As both of these options are important for PwD's, MiRo should allow for this. MiRo will therefore wait patiently until the PwD starts following him again. Additionally, MiRo occasionally tilts his head and makes a little noise to resemble a dog that is awaiting instructions/confused. Once the PwD starts comes closer to MiRo again, MiRo will resume its path.
