14	14	Of course, these approaches might not be able to convince the person with dementia from going out. In this case the robot will again discern two distinct cases: one where the person wants to go out for a certain activity (that they used to perform in the past or can still perform), and one where the person simply wants to go out for a walk. In the first case, the robot tries to convince the person to stay inside by having a conversation with them and suggesting an alternative activity that can be done indoors instead. Music that is associated with that activity (personalized to the person) so that the person is more convinced to stay inside and do the activity instead. If the person is still not convinced to stay inside, some calming music can be played while the robot interacts with the person to convince them some more. On the other hand, if the person wants to go out for a walk, the robot will simply alert the caretaker so that he/she can accompany the person with dementia on a walk. In the meanwhile, while they are waiting for the caretaker, the robot can play some music or engage the person in a conversation such that the person does not get bored or restless. We believe that these measures will prove quite effective in mitigating or even preventing the negative effects of wandering.

17		-Once again, coming back to our persona, Gretchen. If she wants to go to the office, the robot will give her a reasons such that she does not feel the need to go. For example, the robot can tell Gretchen that it's one of the days that she is off, or that the university is closed today because of a holiday, or reasons along that line. The robot can also distract Gretchen with some alternative activity that she enjoys doing, such as exercising or mediating. This activity can be associated with some songs that she used to workout/meditate to, thus triggering that memory. This will convince her to perform that activity instead and keep her inside. However, Gretchen is can get quite aggressive, so it is possible for her to refuse to do this activity the first time. In this case the robot will play some calming music, maybe jazz as that was something that she loved listening to, and then suggest that she do some exercise or meditation once again.

In this way, Gretchen will not leave the house and get lost or go to the university and become very emotional. It will also relieve the stress off her family and caretaker knowing that she is safe inside the care home.
