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 robot, which is a suitable social robot for our use case due to its numerous features and low cost. First of all, the inclusion of 28 programmable touch sensors on MiRo-E's head and body allow for meaningful physical interaction and emotional connection for James (PwD). Additionally, the robot is quite expressive, as it includes rotating ears, tail-wagging, and eyelid movements. This can also have a positive effect on James' emotional connection with the robot. Furthermore, MiRo-E is capable of movement with wheels at its base, and built-in cameras and sensors to support navigation. This helps with both the “walking companion” function and general dog-like movements. Lastly, it has a relatively powerful processing unit, which can connect wirelessly to the Internet. This allows MiRo-E to connect with the adaptive AI system that tracks James’ activity, and generates personalised behaviour.
