2 +Provide support to Patients with Dementia (PwD) who currently are dependent on their caretakers and significant other to go for walks. This is outlined in more detail in the [[Objectives>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Objectives/]] section. The presumed baseline is that PwD walk under supervision of their loved ones or caretakers. To reach our objective and support our claims, we would like to put forward the following research questions:
2 2  
3 -People with dementia face challenges that were not present in their life before being affected by their condition. This is also influenced by their living situation, since they may live in care homes or dementia centers. To ensure that people with dementia stay safe, activities are usually lead by a caretaker. However, staff has limited time available to spend with each individual person. Group activities or caretaker-lead activities may affect the feeling of autonomy of the person with dementia. Autonomy is one of the key psychological needs described in self-determination theory, which describes how feeling fulfilled is influenced by how much a person feels in control of their own actions. It is important to the mental well-being of people with dementia to keep a sense of autonomy.
4 -With our research, we aim to provide support to Patients with Dementia (PwD) who currently are dependent on their caretakers and significant other to go for walks. This is outlined in more detail in the Objectives section. The presumed baseline is that PwD walk under supervision of their loved ones or caretakers. To reach our objective and support our claims, we would like to put forward the following research question:
4 +1. Does walking with the MiRo increase the perceived satisfaction?
5 +1. Does walking with the MiRo increase the perceived autonomy?
6 +1. To which degree do users express familiarity with the MiRo?
7 +1. How do users react to snoezelen with a moving robot?

11 +To this effect, we would like to invite users to participate in a usability study. In the study, we will assess the first two research questions by dividing the participants into two groups: one with a //caretaker// and one with a //MiRo//. The former group will enact the activity of walking in the current setting and the latter group will do the equivalent with the robot. Afterwards, both groups are assessed by means of Likert-scales to measure the increase.

27 27  The first two questions can be answered using a within-subject design in order to be able to measure the //increase// per subject. The learning effect will be mitigated, because the two juxtaposed settings are vastly different. So, there is no advantage for the participant to be subjected to two conditions serially.

29 29  The third question is posed as a exploratory question. There will be no alternative condition. The expression of familiarity will be recorded in the form of audio recording which are to be transcribed afterwards. Naturally, the recordings will be deleted subsequently to comply with GDPR.

45 45  There are two different situations that need to be tested.
46 46  The first situation is walking with the Miro. The PwD is given the MiRo and the bracelet/leash, the MiRo has a pre-programmed route to walk. The PwD is asked to walk with the dog. While they are walking the dog, they are observed, preferably by cameras as to simulate the situation how the MiRo should be used. The emotional state of the PwD is actively monitored by looking at facial expressions. Furthermore, the researchers will actively check how easily the PwD interact with the MiRo to check the familiarity. When the PwD is done walking, some small questions will be asked to check the satisfaction, autonomy and familiarity.

These functions will be tested in advance with the use of "Dogfeeding". Other people from the development-team will test these functions.
