1 -For PwD, their lives become out of order due to their loss of memory. With all the inconveniences dementia has brought to them, a lot of them ended up living alone lacking companionship from family members or friends. In this situation, a robotic partner becomes a perfect option. As the carrier of various technologies, such as speech recognition, movement detection, etc., robotic partners can take good care of the PwD's needs effectively and professionally.
1 +===Goals===
2 +The main goal of the robotic partner is to help users maintain their daily routines. Towards this end, the robot should be able to display a list of tasks and should also help the users remember to do them. Therefore, robots such as Pepper, who has an in-built display or NAO, who can interact with a tablet, are considered more suitable than Miro.
3 +Another goal is to help reduce memory deterioration. This can be accomplished through an interactive quiz at the end of each day. As [will be] discussed in [[Music and Cognition]], music can play an important role in preventing memory loss, so the quiz will focus on associating daily tasks with a piece of music that the user likes. In order to avoid being too repetitive, the tasks in the quiz and their order will be changed.
4 +The user will be encouraged to try new activities and expand their daily list with new tasks (associated with music pieces), in order to improve their autonomy and competence.

6 -We want the robots to be able to interact with the users through more than just music, so robots such as Pepper, who has an in-built display or NAO, who can interact with a tablet, are considered more suitable than Miro. Furthermore, it might feel unnatural to hear an animal-shaped robot play music rather than animal sounds. A smaller robot, such as NAO, is more suitable when users live (more or less) independently, as it can be moved where it needs to be, does not take up a lot of space, and is more affordable than a bigger robot such as Pepper. Furthermore, if the user regularly visits care homes, they can take the robot with them without too much trouble.

1 -Try to think about why need robot partnership instead of stating your goals. There is a nice example in group 5.
