13 +For the project, there was a guest lecture which clearly explained how to define social actors. It was interesting to see how giving a simple hobby to each actor makes them seem more human to the developers. We defined the actors for our use case, and made a storyboard for the use case we wanted to focus on. We picked the use case of a patient with dementia suffering from sundown syndrome, which reduces their motivation to have meals. The robot will narrate a story to engage the patient while they complete their meal.
