Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the immediate and sustained effects of an intensive Kebbi robot intervention on cognitive functions, heart rate variability (HRV), and psychological changes for older adults with mild dementia in long-term care (LTC). The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Are intensive Kebbi robot interventions effective in improving cognitive functions, HRV, and psychological changes for older adults with mild dementia in LTC?
* What are the participants\' experiences and perceptions after intensive Kebbi robot interventions? Researchers will compare intensive Kebbi robot interventions to a control group (receiving usual activity) to see if they are effective in improving cognitive functions, HRV, and psychological changes in older adults with mild dementia in LTC.

Participants will:

* Participants in the intensive Kebbi robot interventions will receive 30 minutes, thrice weekly, for 12 weeks. Participants in the control group will receive the usual activity.
* The outcome measures will be conducted at three time points: before the intervention (T0), immediately after the end of the intervention (T1), and one month after the end of the intervention (T2).
* Outcome measurements include the cognitive outcomes: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Finger Tapping Test (FTT); heart rate variability (HRV); psychological changes: the Geriatric depression scale-short form (GDS-SF), the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 (UCLA- Version 3), and the Friendship scale.
