Throughout my bachelor studies, I primarily focused on technical concepts, but I felt a disconnect from real-world applications. Therefore, when presented with the opportunity to work with robots to assist individuals with dementia, I was thrilled as it provided an ideal chance to bridge this gap and engage directly with practical, human-centered challenged. 4 4 5 - Regardingthegroup, it wasgreatcombination ofpeoplewith differentskills,whichallowedtheprocessto become very smooth.Notonlywas itclearthat each team member wasreadyto commit to the courseproperly,buttheyalso allhad the same level ofinterestand passionthatI do!Eachweek,tasksweredivided appropriatelyandweregularlymet once or twiceaweektocheckourgeneralprogress.It wasalsothe perfectmoment to reflect on the lectures andthe contentdiscussed, which couldbe usedtooptimise our own ideas.5 +As for out group, it was an excellent blend of individuals with diverse skill sets, creating a smooth process. It was evident that each team member was fully dedicated to the course, and what's more, they shared the same level of enthusiasm and passion as I did. We efficiently divided tasks for each week and met once or twice to monitor our collective progress. These meetings provided valuable opportunities to reflect on the lectures and discussions, enabling us to refine our own ideas effectively. 6 6 7 +Regarding my personal contributions in the project, initially, I was involved in the objectives, operational demands, situational activities, design scenarios, and stakeholder analysis. This deep dive allowed me to grasp the intricacies behind our system's motivation. The insights gathered from drafting this segments gave me enough confidence to deliver the final midterm presentation. Additionally, I also made the relevant slides, which helped me to summarise it more clearly. For the later stages following the midterm, our focus shifted to the testing phase. I took on the responsibility of ensuring each participant in the test group received specific tasks to interact with NAO. Throughout the NAO experiment, I remained on standby to address any questions. Concerning the report, I examined the functions, limitations, and final conclusions of the testing phase. 7 7 8 -- Personal evlauation (also concrete segments worked on) 9 - 10 10 - Ideas for next time
