1 -We will base our design principles for the robot on Self-Determination Theory [2]. It identifies three basic human needs as key components to be fulfilled when creating sustainable and fulfilling interactions. Those components are: competence, autonomy and relatedness. We will explain each of those terms and outline how our robot can be adapted to adhere to those needs.

5 -Humans want to improve and gain mastery in the activity, to feel that they are becoming efficient in what they are doing. Translated to our robots' interaction with the PwD: the learning curve needs to be gradual. The PwD should experience that they are becoming better at painting and working with the robot. This means looking for an optimal trade-off in difficulty in each stage, so the PwD doesn't get overwhelmed and demotivated by the complexity of the task, but also stays interested and engaged by the challenge.

9 -Autonomy means that a human feels like they have choice and are not feeling forced or coerced to act in a certain way. For interacting with the PwD we translate this in developing a clear and simple flow in the interaction, where we will give clear control to the PwD to skip or change the interaction in a way that suits their individual needs.

Additionally, PwD found it important to share their experiences and talk about their hobbies with loved ones to be enjoyable and relaxing. The social robot hence should provide means to keep connect with family members/ maintain important relationships and assist the PwD to share their experiences with their loved ones.
