The benefit of humanoid robots

Which robot suits best
Our group choose to use the Pepper Robot, since the main object of our project is to use the Pepper to prevent PwDs from leaving out alone.
Miro is not suitable for our case, since Miro does not have the ability to talk like human being, which means it can not have a conversation with PwDs, furthermore, Miro is a dog-like robot which is too small, people with dementia can also have visual difficulties because the dementia affects the parts of their brain that handle visual information coming from the eyes. This means they will have visual problems, but have healthy eyes.This would leads that the Miro is easily ignored by PwDs
