80 -As shown in the figure above, the results were not exactly significant. The only question that obtained a reasonable p-score (P=0.022) was Q14. This implies that the robot did provide for a more immersive activity where the urge to do something else was diminished. Due to the fact that the robot gives more active guidance than paper instructions, it could be hypothesized that the participants were more actively feeling part of the activity.

88 -For this research question the results also proved not to be conclusive. The only result that could be viewed as remotely significant is the result for question 7 (P=0.073). This could be caused either by the positive encouragement given by the robot, and/or the added functionality that the robot could search for pictures to draw.

114 -First of all, the questions that were asked were more focused on the experience of the activity rather than the specific added value a robot might giveto the activity. Painting can be generally viewed as an enjoyable and engaging activity, so when focusing on the enjoyment part, it could be understood that the robot does not make a significant impact there. However, the robot might give significant improvement in terms of support, motivation and structure during the activity. Especially if the test was conducted on actual PwDs. For future work it would be interesting to explore during the design process on which parts of the activity the robot might be able to do more than paper instructions and to investigate how these contributions might be measured.

116 116  Moreover, as we alluded to earlier, the activity might be experienced highly different for PwDs than 20 year old TU Delft students. Therefore, it is hard to draw any conclusions on the use of the robot by testing it on people who do not need much support from it.
