2 -There are several positive effects that could come from our design. Firstly, we believe our design will make the people with dementia more independent, as they will be able to go on a walk whenever they want. They will be waiting for the caregivers or family members to take them. Secondly, our design will be beneficial for the health of PwD as it will motivate them to move more often and go outside. Physical exercise and movement stimulates the physical and mental health. Moreover, the robot will be a social company to the PwD, hence they will not feel lonely when they go on a walk. The robot will have a conversation with them optimally about that person's interests. They will also feel more fulfilled by our design. As they will be able to go outside on their own without having to wait for someone else and taking his/her time. They will feel less of a burden and more freely. This hopefully gives them a sense of their "normal", "old", life they are used to continuing. Finally, our design has also a positive effect on the caregivers and the family member, as it gives them more free time for other tasks and family members.
