3 +Humanoid robots have various advantages when used for interacting with patients suffering from major neurocognitive disorders. First of all, patients are likely to become more engaged and act more positively in the interaction with a human-like robot compared to robots without physical embodiment ^^[1,2,3]^^. Besides, the quality of life of patients has also been proved to improve with the application of humanoid robots helping with daily issues. Furthermore, physical robots can implement non-verbal cues such as movement detection, hand gesture recognition, etc. which can also help give hints on the actions that patients need to take ^^[4]^^.

5 +To gain those advantages, a humanoid robot needs to be easy to operate and must be accepted as part of the home environment ^^[1]^^. Being small enough to fit into a home environment, easy to use, and child-like shaped, NAO satisfies all these requirements. However, research has also shown that cognitive decline is not prevented by frequent interactions with NAO for patients suffering from advanced dementia ^^[3]^^, on which our team will work to seek improvement.

16 16  The robot can help improve the memory of patients by playing quizzes. The quiz will be instigated by the robot maximum once randomly during the day or be instigated by the user when wanted, which the patient can also choose not to play. The quiz mainly consists of part of the personalized music and the patient needs to say the corresponding activities correctly to pass the quiz. The robot may help the patient remember the activity by giving verbal or non-verbal hints.
