6.2	15	Requirements for the environment
	16
	17	* reachable door
	18	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.
	19
	20	* gate between safe/ unsafe environment for PwD
6.3	21	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.
6.2	22
7.1	23	Application
6.3	24	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.
	25	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.
