15 15  Presented on Monday and got feedback for how we should proceed with the project. Continued to develop the prototype, and by Friday we met up again to test it. Compared to last time, it went a bit better, as we didn't have to waste 3 hours trying to understand how to get the robot to recognize speech, but we still had some issues with it not wanting to run the program for no apparent reason. All in all, we managed to get a semi-final file to use for evaluation and filmed a short video showcasing the general flow of an interaction whith the robot (with some bugs still present, so it will at most serve as a bloopers video).

18 +Attended the lecture on Monday and learned about inclusivity. I also ended up writing the XWiki page about inclusivity, so having attended the lecture halped a lot. It wasn't a very eventful week. During the lab on Tuesday, we divided some of the pages to work on further. We didn't reserve a lab slot for this week, since some of us couldn't be there at the usual slot on Fridays, so we decided to rely on the robot to work fine during the evaluation (which, in retrospective, might not have been the brightest idea).

21 21  Missed the lecture on Monday, since I had no selftests left and didn't want to risk getting everyone infected if I had Covid (which I didn't in the end, but better safe than sorry). On tuesday, the professor asked us about our progress with the evaluations, and, since we hadn't even started doing them, he offered to let us present on Tuesday so we woule have time to werp everything up, which was greatly appreciated. During the rest of the week, I picked new songs to replace the placeholders in the activities for the robot. While picking the songs, I wanted them to be royalty free, which came with the added benefit of them being only instrumental and somewhat similar to each other. I made use of this when designing the experimental plan too: since the music was similar, I also decided to order them differently that the informative paper we gave the participants, just to make it even harder to remember (so they didn;t have to pretend too much to have dementia). On Friday, I arrived at the robot lab in the morning, tested the robot to make sure everything was fine (and it was), but by the time my teammates arrived, the robot decided to not cooperate anymore (to the point where it wasn't recognizing words anymore). In a last-minute attempt to save the evaluation and not have to reschedule everyone, we made use of the tactile input on the robot's head to move further through the program, while I mimicked the replies he was supposed to give. Disregarding all of this, the evaluation went smoothly, and we had a total of 19 participants.

24 +Put together the presentation over the weekend and Monday and prepared to present on Tuesday. Presented on Tuesday and got feedback for what we can improve in the final week for the XWiki. We split up the remaining work for the pages, and all got to work.
