109 109  We see that in the current state of our prototype, this is not the case. The caretaker is preferred when asked if the user feels in charge, feels safe, and feels trustworthy. However, we note that WAF does slightly outperform the caretaker in regard to happiness. We think that further development is needed to accurately gauge if walking with WAF will eventually score equally or better compared to walking with a caretaker.
110 110  We see flaws in the limited testing setup that was available to us. With only eight participants, it is nearly impossible to draw conclusions from the experiment. Additionally, these participants were actors and not real people with dementia, which may have caused bias in our results. Finally, while we intended to have the participants walk through a hallway accompanied by WAF, we only had a meeting room available to conduct the experiment in.
