1 -For this project on dementia, we chose to make us of a semi-humanoid robot namely [[Pepper>>https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/pepper]].
1 += Robot Choice =
2 +We were offered to work with three robots: [[Pepper>>https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/pepper]], [[Nao>>https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/nao]] and [[Miro>>https://www.miro-e.com]].
3 +As our main goal is to improve the quality of life of the patient with dementia by providing some some social support. We believe that the semi-humanoid form of Pepper and its capacity to communicate easily with humans are great comparative advantages to choose it.

3 -Pepper is a robot that allows easy communication robot/user, thanks to its ability kit (voice, tablet, cameras, humanoid form).
5 += Pepper Description =
6 +Pepper is a robot that allows easy communication robot/user, thanks to its ability kit that includes:
7 +* Speech recognition
8 +* Voice
9 +* Tablet
10 +* Cameras
11 +* Humanoid form
4 4  
5 -Moreover, using [[Choregraphe>>http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-4/software/choregraphe/choregraphe_overview.html]], 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.
13 +The image below refers all the robot sensors.

16 += Pepper usage =
17 +We tried to make full use of the sensors provided within Pepper. As we had limited amount of time we mainly focused on working with: the microphones, the speakers, the display and the arms movement of Pepper.
8 8  
19 +The actions we implemented for our prototype include:
20 +* Playing music
21 +* Listening and understanding the PwD
22 +* Speaking to the PwD
23 +* Displaying information on the tablet
24 +* Moving arms to convey message

10 -= ADD: GUI thoughts maybe a picture below? =
26 +For the actual implemented version, we have enabled Pepper to show images about the current activity when interacting with the PwDs, which can not only improve the efficiency of communication between them, but also makes PwDs feel more cared.
11 11  
12 -Pepper is enhanced in human-machine interaction with its tablet and multiple sensors as can be seen on the image below.
28 += Iterative Process =
29 +-> Describe a bit a philosophy from slides: SCE framework & PACT analysis.
13 13  
14 -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
15 - 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.
31 +== PACT analysis ==
32 +->need to add a bit of text
33 +**People** perform **activities** in specific **contexts** with **technologies**, which affect the situated activities, which set new user requirements.
16 16  
17 -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
18 -improve the efficiency of communication between them, but also makes PwDs fell more cared and comfortable.
35 +Using this method leads to a cyclic process of progression as can be seen on the image [1] below presented during the lecture.
