For those PwD whose lives become out of order due to their loss of memory, proper medication treatment is not enough as their problems run through every aspect of their daily lives. 3 3 4 -=* Emotional Values= 4 +===* Emotional Values=== 5 5 With all the inconveniences dementia has brought to them, a lot of them ended up living alone lacking companionship from family members or friends. What they need is not only a pathological cure but also mental solace. While the caregiver workforce cannot fill the needs of professional care for PwD, a robotic partner with actual embodiment becomes a perfect option in this situation. Apart from the support of medical caring knowledge that's integrated during function design, a robotic partner can also help by creating emotional connections with PwD as chronic loneliness comes with significant health risks. 6 6 7 -=* Professional Assistance= 7 +===* Professional Assistance=== 8 8 Furthermore, as the carrier of various technologies, such as speech recognition, movement detection, etc., robotic partners are able to realize functions as expected and take good care of the PwD's needs effectively and professionally. 9 9 10 -= =Choice of robotic partner==10 +=Choice of robotic partner= 11 11 Expecting the robots to be able to interact with the users through music, speech communication, and body language, we chose NAO which has microphones, speakers as well as video cameras for our project. Furthermore, NAO is also small enough to fit into the home environment and it can be carried around thanks to its small size. 12 12 13 13
