5 -Moreover, using Choregraphe (need ref), Pepper is highly parameterizable, it is relatively easy to expand the functionalities by programming new blocks, and prototypes can also be done quickly. This is very valuable as we expanded every week our prototype to include new features based on the content from the lecture.

8 -Pepper is enhanced in human-machine interaction with its tablet and multiple sensors as can be seen on the image below.

10 -We made full use of this feature in pepper. In assumption, we planned to make it possible for the HCP to modify the calendar/reminder
11 - features with touching the tablet. Besides, to enable Pepper moving around to take care of the PwDs with the help of sensors. Also, it's better to let Pepper communicate with the PwDs both by dictating and showing images, for the decline of recognition ability of PwDs.

13 -For the actual implemented version, We've now finished coding to enable Pepper showing proper images when interacting with the PwDs, which can not only
14 -improve the efficiency of communication between them, but also makes PwDs fell more cared and comfortable.
15 +We tried to make full use of the sensors provided within Pepper. As we had limited amount of time we mainly focused on using:
