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 human size semi-humanoid form of Pepper and its capacity to communicate easily with humans are great comparative advantages to choose it.

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

22 -In assumption, we planned to make it possible for the HCP to modify the calendar/reminder
23 - 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.
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.

38 38  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.
