5 5  The design scenario of PwD Maria, who is used to and also enjoys going on walks in the garden where she can sit and have a moment of rest, or practice her hobby: knitting. However, she is scared and hesitant to go out to the garden on her own. She has light dementia and is diabetic. She enjoys walking with her daughters Laura and Sarah, but that is not always possible since they also need to spend time with their families and children, especially with one of them having a less than 1-year-old child. Caretakers do not always have the time to take Maria either, so she could benefit from having a robot that can help enable her to go when she wants and on her schedule, without having to wait for somebody. This increases her independence and autonomy and gives her a sense of her "normal" and "regular" life continuing.

7 -The design scenario of Bob, who has a history of alcoholism and anger issues. He suffers from Korsakoff syndrome due to his past alcoholism. He enjoys collecting coins and taking a walk in the garden where he can meditate or do some light exercise which tends to help him with his emotional regulation. This has been a problem in the past with the caretakers who often have to take the consequences of Bob's anger problems. They wish to be able to have breaks from taking him to the park and he often gets frustrated when he can't go when he wants to. This could be alleviated by the robot taking him on walks to the park or into the garden when he feels like he wants to spend time there. Bob also does not have any family, which means that he benefits from a social companion, which the robot system could also provide.
