1 -(% style="line-height:100%" %)Goals:
1 +Initially, we wanted to use Navel as a robot to take care of different patients in the middle of the night. After the first presentation, we realized that the project we had planned to do was too broad. Therefore, the idea of the project was changed from one robot that can help different PWD in the middle of the night to each elderly person having their own robot. The robot can sit next to the elderly while they are sleeping, and a robot that can move around is not needed. We also thought that NAO has a friendlier look, while Navel could look scary in the middle of the night, as can be seen in Figure 1. Even though Navel is a more advanced robot, NAO still has all the necessary features to communicate with PWD and comfort them.

3 +NAO features multiple sensors such as a camera, microphones, and touch sensors. Besides that, it has articulated limbs for expressive movement and a speaker that can be used to communicate. The goals that NAO aims to solve through its actions are listed below, together with what NAO can perceive to understand the elderly's emotions.

75 -The technology that is planned on being used consists of several parts. Firstly, the PwD are equipped with bracelets that provide information about their sleep cycle during sleep. The acquired information is then processed by the Navel Robot which then predicts which patients are restless or awake. When restless patients are recognized, Navel is sent to the location and is assigned with calming down and sending back to bed the patients or alerting the staff. Patients are recognized using voice and facial recognition and expressions are also checked. A LLM is used to communicate with the patients.
