1 -//<Describe the selection of the social robot you intend to use. The description includes the reasons for this selection and the characteristics of this specific robot..>//
1 +We intend to use the MiRO-E animal-like robot. We think it's great for our project because of its numerous features and a low cost. First of all, the inclusion of 28 programmable capacitive surfaces on Miro's head and body allow for meaningful physical interaction and emotional connection for PwD. Next, the robot is quite expressive, as it includes rotating ears, tail wagging and and eyelid movements. This, too, can help with the patient's emotional connection with the robot. Additionally, the robot is equipped for movement, as it has wheels and sensors to support this. Thus, it can be used as a 'walking companion' for patients. Next, it has a relatively performant processing unit, which can connect wirelessly to the Internet. Through this connection a custom AI agent can be fed the robot's inputs to determine its actions.
