14 14  As described above, the MiRo robot came with many limitations that ultimately did not allow us to implement many of the functions that we had imagined. This section contains an overview of the future work that should be done to create a sophisticated robotic partner that is truly able to guide PwD on walks.

17 -One of the limitations of the MiRo is that it is unable to walk on floors that are either uneven, carpeted or black. A new robot prototype should have some form of limbs that allow it to be able to walk up steps and traverse rough terrain, allowing the person with dementia to walk outside. Currently, the robot is unable to walk a path that is not entirely hardcoded. The robot should be able to follow a predefined path and should be able to differ from that path if an obstacle is detected.

19 19  The robot dog should also be able to connect with the caretaker if something happens where additional assistance is necessary. Therefore, the dog should have some way of contacting the caretaker, either over data roaming or wifi. The robot should also have a GPS so the caretaker can locate the robot, and, more importantly, the person with dementia if they are lost or if they refuse to follow the robot.
