23 23  ====Snoezelen====
24 24  We imagine WAF to not only be a guiding robot but also pose itself as a companion. For this, WAF should allow for 'Snoezelen'. Clients should be able to pet WAF on its head and body, and it should respond to that affection with happy noises and movements. This helps the client to create a bond with WAF and it makes walks with WAF more enjoyable. Furthermore, it may reduce cognitive decline, as discussed in the lecture.

29 +Walking with WAF is divided in two functional parts: Starting the walk and guiding the patient on the path.

27 27  === Guiding the patient along a path ===
28 -The patient can start a walk by indicating to a caretaker that they 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 WAF. The caretaker will also give the proximity bracelet, see the next section for its description. WAF will then either automatically choose a suitable route or get instructed by the coordinator for a specific route.

30 30  Once the route has been started, WAF walks ahead to show the way. When approaching turns, WAF 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 WAF consistently), WAF gives positive reinforcement in the form of excited sounds and a wagging tail.
