| 1 | In this report, we will explain the design of WAF: Walking Assisting Friend. WAF has been created as a support animal to assist people with dementia. | ||
| 2 | We decided to create the support animal using MiRo-e. WAF will assist people with walking a route. The user may follow WAF on a path predefined by the caretaker of the person with dementia. If the user gets distracted or lost and walks away, WAF will try to grab the user's attention by, for example, barking and flashing its LEDs. In the worst-case scenario, WAF can notify the caretaker where they currently are. | ||
| 3 | To make the user experience more realistic, like the user is walking a real animal, we would like to explore the possibility of creating a leash/wristband that can connect to the MiRo robot through Bluetooth. The wristband could also make use of vibrations the further away the user is from the MiRo. This will also make it easier to check if the user is still within the desired radius of the MiRo. | ||

| 5 | In the Foundation section, we will notify you of the underlying literature supporting the design of WAF. In Specification, we will describe the use cases, objectives, functions and claims made about the design. In the Evaluation section, we describe how we did the user tests and we will describe the results of this user test. In Design patterns, the design patterns like the individual and team design pattern are described. In Ontology, the ontology of the design is given. Finally, in the conclusion section, there is a conclusion and the possible future work that can be done on this product. |
