8	8	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 just a walking assistant to a robotic pet. Our ideas and findings on this can be found in the [[Future Work>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Main/Conclusion/]] section of the conclusion.

11	11	Walking with the MiRo is divided in two functional parts: Starting the walk and guiding the patient on the path.

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	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 give the proximity grip, 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.

19	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 four main components: lights, a vibration motor, a accelerometer, 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 [[Robotic Partner>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Foundation/Human%20Factors/Robotic%20Partner/]].

23		-=== 1.2 Guiding the patient ===
	22	+=== 2 Guiding the patient ===
24	24	Once the route has been started, MiRo walks ahead to show the way. When approaching turns, MiRo indicates which way to go by slightly moving towards the desired direction and moving his head to indicate the turn. When the patient does well (e.g. follows MiRo consistently), MiRo gives positive reinforcement in the form of excited sounds and a wagging tail.
25	25
26	26	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.

32	32	Finally, it is also possible that the PwD falls. For this, the proximity grip will also contain an acceleromenter. The accelerometer will be able to detect heavy vertical acceleration, which, combined with little to no change in distance to MiRo would indicate a fall. If detected, MiRo will automatically alert a caretaker.
