Péter Angeli 6.1 3 We are doing a mixed-method approach. We are producing qualitative data from focus groups by asking them how they liked to interact with the robot. By measuring how successfully we achieved our claims we will create questionnaires which will be quantitative data.

Péter Angeli 6.1 7 Due to covid restrictions, we have to “simulate” our robot-human interaction with elderly people affected by dementia. For that reason, we will ask roughly eighteen people how will pretend to be people with different dementia types, the loved ones or the caregiver. We will create three groups / six people in each. In each group, one person will “play” the role of a caregiver, one plays the loved one, and the remaining four people will do the role of the person with dementia. In each group, the “onset of dementia played” should be different. In Group A, people act like they just have early-onset symptoms, but they are almost fully functioning. They sometimes get confused, but these moments swiftly pass and they are back to their true selves. In Group B, people should have a harder time keeping track of things, forgetting about tasks, people and memories should be common. These people’s life is constantly affected by the disease, but they sometimes have clear moments when they are back to their original selves before dementia. In Group C people have late-onset of dementia. Constant confusion is more common than moments of clarity which usually doesn't last long. People should have a hard time keeping track of anything, and remembering is not something that’s even possible anymore.
