3 The human-robot interaction design pattern depicts the flow of interactions between the Dogg0 (Miro-E) and the PwD. The Dogg0 is designed to interact with PwD by asking it to pet it on its head or back. With respect to the use cases present, this TDP applies to the doing a dance and being pet functions. Below we describe the TDP in further detail.

7 The purpose of this TDP is to demonstrate how the interaction between the Dogg0 and the PwD would go. As sometime the patients in the nursing home feel lonely or crave attention from others. With the other patients in the nursing homes, it’s sometimes hard for a nurse to provide the necessary care for every patient. Sometimes another patients requires more attention, which takes away from the attention of another patient. In this case the Dogg0 can provide the PwD with the emotional support it needs. It can do this by actively seeking the attention of the PwD. We see interacting the PwD with the Dogg0 as a meaningful addition to their daily life. The aim is to have the Dogg0 walk up towards the patient and raise and lower its head, asking to be pet. The PwD can decide if they want to interact or not. If the PwD pets the Dogg0 it will continue raising its head up and down until the PwD stops. If the PwD is not in need or doesn’t want any attention, the doggo will do a small dance and walk away. If a nurse is available, they can observe and analyze how the process went.
