Shambhawi Pal 3.1 1 **Week 1:**
2
Shambhawi Pal 4.1 3 In this week we formed groups and met on friday to brainstorm ideas for our use case. We considered two things into account for helping people with dementia. First, help the patient with some form of entertainment. Second, help them with their day-to-day life. After a discussion, we decided to pick entertainment. Even entertainment has a very broad aspect, so we went through some literature and found out that art (music or visual) helps people with dementia by improving their quality of life. We finally decided on painting because it is a very interesting approach to helping people. Everyone provided their valuable inputs in the deciding the use case.

11 This week's lecture focused on the evaluation aspects of the robot. The team met again on Friday to narrow down all our use cases. The quick start section was fixed during this meetup and the "Foundation" and "Specification" section was divided among the team members. Me and Varun took up the d,e and f sections of the specification section.

15 The lectures this week focused on the theories that can be integrated in our robot, such as Self Determination theory. This week we met again on friday to divide our task for the week. Me and Varun worked on the technical analysis of the robot. We initially designed the flowchart of the interaction process which helped us narrow down the technical aspects and challenges. From here, I personally worked on technical aspects of dealing with art and music management and worked on the requirements and analysis of our implementation process in Pepper. I also worked on the human-robot collaboration section to determine the human-robot theories that are required in our project.

Shambhawi Pal 10.1 19 This week we learned about the design patterns. The team also worked on the presentation and Deepali, Ilinca and Varun gave our presentation on tuesday. From this week, we are expected to start the implementation process and the team met again on friday to discuss the workload division. Me and Deepali will work on the "Effects" section of the specification and the technical analysis. One important aspect of this meeting was that we also finalized our research question.

22
Shambhawi Pal 11.1 23 This week we gained an idea of evaluation and ontologies. In the project, I worked in development of Pepper. At first I created a basic structure on "Interactive intelligence". However, on further analysis, I found out that the retrieval of images will be done using SDK, so I shared the basic setup of the code among the team members. Me and Deepali started working on developing the basics on code. Based on the use cases and the design patterns we first came up with a small conversation flow. We also visited the lab to check the Wizard of the OZ GitHub code and analyzed the code changes that we had to make. As per the discussion in the previous week, me and Deepali also worked on the "Effects" section of the "Specification".

Shambhawi Pal 5.1 25 **Week 6:**
Shambhawi Pal 7.1 26
Shambhawi Pal 11.1 27 Week 6 was completely dedicated on development of Pepper. In order to start the development process of our system, the team first worked on the conversation flowchart. On completion of the conversation flowchart, I personally worked with Deepali in the completion of the code. We used the "Wizard of Oz" codebase provided to us by our TA. To add the required functionalities, we forked the Wizard of OZ github repository and made our new code changes. We first added the functionality to show images from Google Images on Pepper's tablet. Then we worked on adding the conversation skeleton to our interface. We also removed many unwanted functionalities.

31
Shambhawi Pal 11.1 32 In this week, I worked with Deepali and Varun to test the product among ourselves and then created the prototype video. We also conducted our user evaluation on Tuesday where we had 18 participants in total. While conducting the evaluations, I controlled Pepper from the background by using the Wizard of the Oz technique, while Deepali and Varun worked on helping the users with the other evaluation processes. The user evaluations went very well and most of the participants wanted to paint more, so the overall test session was fun and interesting. On completion of the User evaluation, Deepali processed the data for the questionnaire and shared it with Varun and Marijn to perform statistical analysis on the same.

Shambhawi Pal 8.1 37 In this final week, I worked with Marijn and Alex to create the final presentation for our project. We also took inputs from the rest of the team members to make our presentation better and more coherent. The students and the Professors provided valuable suggestions related to our evaluation and the scope of our future work. Our team divided the work left among each one of us and we finalized the report. In the Xwiki, I finished the "Evaluation:Test" section and also finalized the conversation flowchart in the Xwiki page.
