15 15  Sadly enough we are not able to perform the experiment on PwD in a real time situation and over a longer time. The experiment will take place on one single day and thus the long-term effect of either goal-based or emotion-based motivation cannot be seen. However the difference in motivation can still five different results in a single experiment and these results can already show some promising results for further research.

19 -The test will be with students from the university of Delft that are also following this course. The participants are all young and do not have any form of dementia. The results of the research can thus not be seen as sufficient for a real-life implementation of the prototype. The students will be familiar with the robot and thus further explanation of the working of the robot is less relevant. Also, the students will feel more comfortable with the robot from the start. This is contradicting with the PwD that might be a little hesitant in interacting with the robot. The integration of that aspect will be of great importance before real implementation.
21 +The test will be with students from the university of Delft that are also following this course. For the results to be valid 15 participants in the research is the minimum amount. Since the decision was made for in-between subject design, which will be elaborated more in the Experimental Design section, there are thus 30 participants necessary. Due to the time constraint and the amount of students in the course, 30 participants will probably not be reachable for this experiment so less students will participate. Also the use of a control group is not within reach because of the lack of resources.

23 23  The Pepper robot will be turned on and in a "normal" situation would walk around to monitor the state and activity of the PwD in the care facility. However, because of the lack of time and since we are now only working with students Pepper will search for a face and will then start interacting with the student. The interaction will take place in a TUDelft facility. The experiment will be hold in a room with the robot. Unfortunately, the space of the room is small compared to a an actual park. The robot needs some space to move, hence we will make sure to move everything moved out of the way and that other students(who are not experiment at the moment) wait in the room next. The room also has a different surface than an actual park. However, our experiment focused more on the motivation to go outside then the walk itself. Due to the fact that we want to compare emotion-based and goal-based motivations, ,multiple experiments will be taken. One in which we only test emotion-based motivation and another in which we only test goal-based motivation. Both are measured by a questionnaire, whether there the students indeed agree to go on a walk and how long it takes until the robot convinces a student to go on walk. We plan to do the experiment on a fellow team, which can exist of 4 or 5 people. We want to divide them, half will do the experiment regarding emotion-based and the other half the goal-based one.
