12 +**Requirements for the environment**
13 +
14 +* reachable door
15 +The room or house has to have a door. The door should never be out of the robot's reach (no loss of connection to sensor, no stairways) so that the robot can always reach the door and help the patient.
16 +
17 +* gate between safe/ unsafe environment for PwD
18 +The door should separate the care home from the 'outside', where the patient is not allowed to go (alone). Best case it's the only door leading outwards.
19 +
20 +**Application**
21 +From these requirements follows that in our case we need to cover the main entrance/ exit door of the care center. We will locate the robot inside the building, in front of the door like a Bouncer. This has the advantage that PwDs are still able to walk around in the building but are prevented from wandering outside.
22 +Furthermore using the robot as door guard has the advantage that only one robot for many Patients is needed. This saves money in terms of acquisition costs and maintenance costs.

10 10  **Objectives**
11 11  The objective is to provide care for people with dementia. More specifically, prevent them from wandering around outside of these buildings and getting lost or guide them when they do leave their respective buildings. This can be done by:

23 -* little 'traffic' through door
24 -The Robot-Sensor construction might not be helpful in clinical surroundings, since the sensor at the door must be activated every time a person (doctor, nurse, family) leaves the room. In hospital, rooms is to much 'traffic'.
