The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed 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 on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.RAS bines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected, said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost 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 strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.Through sensors.Through a mobile robot.It can locate people and do any task.D.Doubtful.B.Elderly people leave the nursing home.根據(jù)章第二段中的“ The Robot Activity Support System, or RAS, uses sensors （傳感器）equipped in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities”可知機(jī)器人活動支持系統(tǒng)（RAS）使用WSU智能家居中配備的傳感器（傳感器）來確定其居民在哪里，他們在做什么以及何時需要日?；顒拥膸椭?，說明傳感器起到了重大的作用，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。再根據(jù)最后一段中的“The next step in the research will be to test RAS39。 Books were my true friends back then.
