a. Objectives
The overall objective is to develop a robot that assists PwD in remembering details of their relatives and important events. The robot should also make the life of the caretaker easier by keeping track of important details of checkup visits and improve the emotional well-being of the PwD by helping them remember their loved ones' faces and relevant details.
This can be achieved by equipping the robot with facial recognition technology to help the PwD remember the faces of their relatives. It will also be equipped with a memory storage system to record important details of checkup visits and upcoming events. The robot will provide reminders to the person with dementia and their caretaker about upcoming events and checkup days, helping them to stay organized and on schedule.
Memory games will be played on the display of the robot by the PwD which can improve their recall of the details about their loved ones.
By achieving these objectives, we hope to improve the quality of life for PwD by helping them maintain connections with their loved ones and reducing the stress on the caretaker. We hope it will help PwD feel more secure and supported, and that it promotes a sense of independence and control in their daily lives.
