Week 1

I attended the lecture and the lab. We brainstormed about ideas for the robots and we decided to use the Miro robot to create some sort of support animal. I took a look at some Miro tutorials to get familiar with MiRoCODE and MiRoCloud, so I could immediately get started once our Miro accounts have been set up.

Week 2

I attended the lecture and the lab. We brainstormed a little more about what the MiRo should do. We booked a timeslot on Wednesday morning with the Miro robot in the Insyght lab, but unfortunately, we still didn't have access to our accounts at that time yet. I signed up for a trial account with both my personal and student email address, but to start the trial, I needed to wait for a confirmation email, which I never received. We experimented a little bit with the Miro app, but we could only test some basic capabilities. 

Week 3

I got access to my MiRo trial account this week, but not my student account. I studied the capabilities of MiRo with Blockly and Python and I made some test programs to test on Wednesday. I found out that MiRoCloud Python is very limited as it is not possible to install packages. I was also supposed to make the use cases, but I did not have time for that anymore.

Week 4

I finished the use cases this week. I also worked on the interim presentation for next week. I worked on the slides and the text to say and I prepared to present next week.

Week 5

I presented our interim presentation this week. I also worked on 4 programs for MiRo: one for when a PwD falls down and MiRo raises an alarm, and three for snoezelen with different levels of movement. I tested these programs on Wednesday. We decided that MiRo is too fragile for snoezelen, but we did use the alarm code in the final prototype.

Week 6

We did a practice evaluation this week. I brought my PlayStation 4 controller and controlled MiRo with the Remote Controller of the MiRo app. 

Week 7

We did the evaluation for real this time. I was controlling the MiRo again. I also wrote some parts of the XWiki. 

Week 8

This week, I wrote some more parts of the XWiki. I wrote (parts of) the Music and Cognition, Music management, Group's core theoretical foundation and Future Work. 

Week 9

 
This week, we finished up the XWiki. In a Discord call, we went over everything together and fixed the last issues.
