16.2 | 1 | For this project on dementia, we chose to make use of a semi-humanoid robot namely [[Pepper>>https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/pepper]]. |

16.1 | 3 | Pepper is a robot that allows easy communication robot/user, thanks to its ability kit that includes: |
| |
20.2 | 4 | * Speech recognition |
| |
16.1 | 5 | * Voice |
| 6 | * Tablet | ||
| |
20.2 | 7 | * Cameras |
| |
16.1 | 8 | * Humanoid form |

16.2 | 14 | 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. |

20.2 | 16 | 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 |

16.2 | 19 | In assumption, we planned to make it possible for the HCP to modify the calendar/reminder |

| |
16.1 | 22 | 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 |
| 23 | improve the efficiency of communication between them, but also makes PwDs feel more cared. | ||
