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 affordability. 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.

4 -The robot’s movement could pose a tripping or collision hazard for residents with reduced mobility. This is why we will limit the robot's speed and define fixed walking paths. It would also use proximity sensors to avoid obstacles. Additionally we will ensure the robot remains within the caregiver's supervision range.
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 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 the 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. Next, the robot is equipped for movement with wheels and sensors to support this. This helps with both the 'walking companion' feature and general animal-like movements. 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.
