Pravesha Ramsundersingh 5.1 1 === Personal Reflection ===

Pravesha Ramsundersingh 4.1 3 My reasoning behind selecting Socio-cognitive Engineering this quarter was to gain an insight on the integration of real-life scenarios with technology. 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.

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.

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.
