2 -For this project on dementia, we chose to make use of a semi-humanoid robot namely [[Pepper>>https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/pepper]].
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.

This is very valuable as we expanded every week our prototype to include new features based on the content from the lecture.

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

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.
