17、iving cars, all the internet-connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19. 42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆)speeds.“5G is one
18、of those heralds (使者),along with artificial intelligence , of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age,and that is to say,it is a sign of time, because with one s
19、ingle task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. Its pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane . It could be weather information, and
20、also connected infrastructure (基础设施)construction. There5 s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed. And virtual reality glasses and headsets havent yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones
21、. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist 一 or even replace smartphones.Ericsson stated at Februarys Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because inste
22、ad of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But dont get too excited. There s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isnt co

26、dependently in their own homes The Robot Activity Support System, or RAS, uses sensors (传感器)equipped in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It navigates (定位)through rooms and around obstacles to find people o
27、n its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owners to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.“RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as
28、the need for help is detected. said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently, about 50 per cent adults over the age of 85 need assistance with everyday activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cos
29、t for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial pressure on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alo
30、ne.RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to apply to their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that shows how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.While we are still in an early stage of dev
31、elopment, our initial results with RAS have been promising, Minor said. The next step in the research will be to test RAS performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot. ”32. What plays a key role in RAS serving the elderly?A.Sensors. B. Videos. C.Signal lights. D. Head size.33. What can we learn about RAS?A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B.
