Pierre Bongrand 15.1 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]].

Pierre Bongrand 16.1 3 Pepper is a robot that allows easy communication robot/user, thanks to its ability kit that includes:
4 * Voice
5 * Tablet
6 * Cameras
7 * Humanoid form

Pierre Bongrand 15.2 9 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.

Pierre Bongrand 12.1 17 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
Manolo Xin 8.1 18 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.

Pierre Bongrand 16.1 20 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
21 improve the efficiency of communication between them, but also makes PwDs feel more cared.
