Week 1

1. Research on should we use one robot for one person or one robot for a group of people.

• Research result: Almost all researches focus on one robot for one person. 
• Robot for a group of people: functions are very limited. They don't have any complex functions, like speech recognition or scheduler, because these robots have to process the information of a group of people at the same time, which is really hard.
• One robot for one person: It can adapt itself to the patient for practical use, e.g., assessment for the patient, customization, training, etc. The only disadvantage probably is the cost, but I think since it's a prototype, we don't need to consider it now. So we chose one robot for one person.

1. Group meeting on Tuesday and Sunday to discuss the research results and decide which robot to use.

Week 2

1.  We checked the Interactive Robotics platform and found it is too simple for our project. So we turned to Choreograph, which is also hard to use. 
2. I was assigned the Calendar and Reminder tasks. It should be easy to do, but the Choreograph platform crashes every time and I do not know exactly how to use it. I read the tutorial and followed the steps, but it just did not work for some unknown reason.
