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.

3 +The goals of the robotic partner are strongly correlated with the Problem Scenarios and the Use Cases.

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.
7 +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.

10 +====Reducing memory deterioration====

12 +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. 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.

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