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. While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising, Minor said. The next step in the research will be to test RAS39。Through sensors.B.Through a mobile robot.Through their daily activities.（2）What can we know about RAS?

My house was built in the year 2000 and is already in bad condition round the edges. These temples are older than the pyramids! Of course the temples would have looked rather different when they were constructed. They may have been decorated with pigments and possibly even roofed with animal skins or other materials. Who knows? We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000 year period or so.t mind a hike, you could get a bus to Qrendi(3 km away) or Zurrieq (5 km away) and walk from there.
