3 -The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a socially intelligent dog-robot, Dogg0, in providing companionship and reducing stress levels for people with dementia (PwD). The study aims to test the hypothesis that the interactions with the robot will improve the mood of the PwD and enhance their trust in the robot. To achieve this, we will measure trustworthiness, the effect on the mood of the PwD, and the functionalities of the robot. These aspects will be assessed using a questionnaire filled out by participants immediately after the experiment.

8 -The prototype was evaluated through an in-person experiment involving multiple participants. Since we cannot conduct the experiment with real PwD, fellow students who are also taking the course were recruited as participants. All data collected will be anonymized to maintain confidentiality.

13 -We used a within-subject design in which all participants interacted with both versions of the robot. Half of the participants interacted with version 1 first and then version 2, while the other half did the opposite. This was done to counter-balance the carryover effects.

30 -1. Participants were welcomed and informed about the purpose of the study.
31 -1. Participants signed a consent form to indicate their willingness to participate and allow researchers to analyze the data gathered from the experiment.
32 -1. Participants completed the first questionnaire, which assessed their emotional state.
33 -1. Participants interacted with the robot.
34 -1. Participants completed the second questionnaire.
35 -1. Researchers conducted a short interview during downtime, using prepared questions.

37 -**Materials:**
38 -
39 -Two main materials were used in this study. First, a consent form was used to ensure that participants were willing to participate, and their privacy was protected. Second, the Dogg0 robot was used to evaluate its effectiveness. The robot was programmed using MiroCloud and had the same behavior for every participant.
