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.

All corners of furniture are wrapped so that even if patients accidentially knock on it, no serious injuries will happen. On the carbinets, besides the TV, on a board on the table, there are places for notes, showing the basic information that the patient need to remember. Besides, medicine and required items are placed within reachable distance.

9 +In nursing homes and residential care centres, each patient has a 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. Patients' own rooms have a bed, a bedside table and two armchairs. All facilities are movable. When relatives come, they can sit on the armchairs; in other times, patients can put armchair aside and do some non-strenuous exercise.

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.
