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.

31 --> Describe a bit a philosophy from slides: SCE framework & PACT analysis.
29 +Through the course of the development of Pepper, we followed an iterative process of design where we programmed and re-programmed certain aspects to accommodate weekly feedback. This approach aided us in ameliorating existing functionality, while adding new features. The following is brief indication of how this iterative process looked for our development pipeline:
30 +1. Research overview of how Pepper works, and look into the interactive robotics platform and Choregraphe
31 +2. Use the virtual version of Pepper on Choregraphe to make some initial behaviors (based off usecases)
32 +3. Review implemented behaviors using physical version of Pepper
33 +4. Make some adjustments and debug according to observed behaviors of previous iteration
34 +5. Add new behaviors and test once again with physical version of Pepper
35 +6. Test and improve the final behaviors!
