Shared experiences
The problem we are trying to solve is to prevent users from wandering. For our project, we decided to use Pepper since it's a humanoid robot so the user will feel more comfortable talking to it. The user will also take it seriously. The robot will be able to understand the human's emotions and react accordingly. Since it's a humanoid robot, it can stand in front of the door way and prevent the users from leaving the care center. It will also be able to have conversations with the user, to convince them not to go out.
