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. 81 - 82 - 83 -**RQ2: How does the assistance provided by a social robot influence the level of agitation in art-related tasks for people with dementia?** 84 - 85 -[[image:1681152536590-277.png||height="327" width="783"]] 86 - 87 -(% class="wikigeneratedid" %) 88 -For this research question the results also proved not to be conclusive.

However, for question 4, the general response was ambivalent. This is understandable as confidence in certain activity often only comes after multiple repetitions and not in one encounter. 110 - 111 -(% class="wikigeneratedid" %) 112 -The participants were also required to answer two more questions AQ1 and AQ2 after the activity which was used to investigate whether the participants preferred the activity with a robot or without it. The mean responses for AQ1 were in favour of painting with the robot but for AQ2 no definite conclusion could be made. This could be because of the confounding factor related to the painting activity itself; participants who liked to paint preferred the activity either way with or without the robot. 113 - 114 114 = 4. Discussion = 115 115 116 -The results do not show a conclusive effect in general towards the added value of having a robot performing the activity. This is can be attributed to different possible causes. 117 117 118 -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 give when doing such an activity. It is understandable that painting can be generally viewed as an enjoyable and engaging activity, so when focusing on the enjoyment, 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. 119 - 120 -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. 121 - 122 122 = 5. Conclusions = 123 - 124 -Our project sought to offer support to individuals suffering from dementia in their passion for painting, with the objective of enhancing their emotional well-being. While human caregivers could provide such assistance, utilizing a humanoid robot such as Pepper for painting activities provides several advantages. Pepper has the potential to enhance and sustain the interest of individuals with dementia in painting by encouraging them to paint and providing assistance during the activity. As a result, the quality of life of these individuals could be improved, which may be augmented by playing calming music during the painting process. In addition, this activity could bring together the individuals with their family members, as personalized painting recommendations could be provided, and photos of completed paintings could be shared. Rather than completing the painting activity for the individuals, Pepper would guide them through the process, promoting a greater sense of independence and self-sufficiency. 125 - 126 -We did a study to evaluate the effectiveness of having a robot like Pepper assisting the PwD with painting instead of the PwD doing the activity alone. Our results based on the responses obtained from our custom PACES questionnaire were statistically insignificant and hence we could not conclusively answer our research questions related to engagement and agitation. However, the raw scores of the questions were always in favour of having the robot while performing the activity which could indicate a positive attitude towards having the robot. Due to certain practical limitations of the course, we could not conduct the experiment with actual PwD or set it up in such a way but given enough time and effort the current implementation in Pepper could be extended to an actual care home with PwDs. 127 - 128 -=== References === 129 - 130 -1.
