1 -If anyone happens to see this, I've listed some characteristics that the environment could have. Please feel free to leave a comment and I'll turn them into a paragraph later.
1 +**Patients' home - living room**

3 -* There are two scenarios for the robot: the patient's house, and nursing homes or residential care centres.  Since the main goal of the robot is to minimise the impact of memory loss, we expect the patient to enjoy their daily life as everybody else and the former scenario may be the most applicable one. And patients with less serious conditions, may take the robot to travel.
4 -* Both scenarios allow the patient to have their own private rooms.
5 -* (Name) is a small robot, about 15 cm high. Lightweight and portable, it allows the robot to stay with the patient wherever he goes.
6 -* The robot is usually placed on a table, allowing the patient to enter and retrieve information. Therefore, the bed in the care centre or in the patient's home needs special features, such as a folding table, so that the robot can accompany the patient on the table during the daytime and retract it at night to give the patient enough space to rest.
7 -* There is a tablet on the robot where the patient can give feedback and play games to enhance their memory.
3 +The primary goal of the robot is to minimise the effects of memory loss and we want patients to be able to enjoy their daily lives like everyone else. Therefore the robot will be deployed in patients' homes. Patients' main activity areas are the living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. We consider the living room to be our focus since patients mostly spend all of the day there and rest in the bedroom. The latter two are not considered because they involve water and fire, which may cause harm to the robot.

5 +The living rooms contain the necessary furniture such as dining tables, sofas and TV but also leave space for the elder to keep safe. There are many places for notes and objects within reachable distance in order to remind patients.

14 -**Outdoor cases (traveling)**
9 +In nursing homes and residential care centres, each patient has their own private room. There won't be too much facilities since they will do daytime activities in the common area with a group of people together.

11 +Supposed to be a small robot, it is about 15cm high and is usualy placed on a table, allowing patients to enter and retrieve information easily. As a result, the bed is customized to have a folding table. Then the table can be put on during the daytime and retracted at night to give the patient enough space to rest.

13 +**Outdoor cases (travelling)**
14 +
15 +There is also possibility that there are patients with less serious conditions who are still able to enjoy outdoor social lives. Lightweight and portable, the robot is able to stay with patients wherever they go.
