：Rise of the Robots If you are into technology, you are living in wonderful times. Things are developing in leaps and bounds, especially gadgets. Let us look at the technology that is set to break through. CELESTRON SKYSCOUT Backyard stargazing goes seriously hi-tech with the Celestron SkyScout, which was judged to be the Best of Innovations at the New York Consumer Electronics Show press preview event in November. It is not difficult to see why. The SkyScout is a hand-held viewing device that is capable of finding and identifying more than 6,000 celestial objects visible to the naked eye, thus transforming the night sky into your own personal planetarium. Using GPS technology and a substantial celestial database, the camcorder-sized SkyScout enables stargazers to point the device at any visible object in the sky, press a button, and then listen to a commentary. For the truly celestially challenged, if you want to view a star or planet but do not have a clue which bit of the heavens to look in, do not despair; the SkyScout’s “locate” feature will guide you to it using illuminated arrows in the viewfinder. NOKIA N91 This amazing mobile jukebox is due out early in 2006. Nokia’s N91 looks set to be in a class of its own as a multimedia mobile phone. It will play music, take photos, surf the web and download videos, store contact details, and generally organise your life. The robust little phone, resplendent in its stainless steel Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 11 case, is the first Nokia to be equipped with a hard drive (4Gb), which means that it can store up to 3,000 songs. The N91, which has a hi-fi quality headset and remote control, supports a wide range of digital music formats, including MP3, Real, WAV, and WMA. It uses wireless technology to allow users to find and buy music from the operator’s music store. You can also drag and drop music from your PC to the N91 and manage and share playlists. If you can find the time, you can get on the blower, too. SEIKO SPECTRUM E-PAPER WATCH The Seiko Spectrum is no ordinary wristwatch. At first glance, it is an attractive and futuristic bracelet-style watch. Look closer, however, and you will notice that its display is unlike any you have seen before. Rather than the usual LCD screen, the display is made of “e-paper” - from the electronic paper pioneers E Ink Corp - and shows a constantly changing mosaic pattern along with the time. Because e-paper is so flexible and thin, it allows the display to curve round the wrist along with the watch band - something conventional liquid crystal displays cannot do, as they have to be flat. Seiko says the e-paper display not only produces far better contrast than an LCD screen, but requires no power to retain an image, so the batteries last longer. Seiko is releasing only 500 of the watches next month, priced at about £1,250 - so you’d better lose no time. HIGH-DEFINITION TV HDTV, already available in the United States, Japan, and Australia, will hit the UK in 2006. When you watch a programme filmed in the HD format, you will see a much sharper, clearer and more vibrant image. This is due partly to the way a programme is filmed, but also to the high-definition TV set itself, which uses either 720 or 1,080 visible rows of pixels (depending on which format the individual HDTV uses) to display images, compared to the 576 rows of pixels used in current sets. ELECTROLUX TRILOBITE 2.0 ROBOT VACUUM CLEANER Next time you are expecting visitors, do not bother to vacuum first - wait until they arrive, and then entertain them with this little gadget. The Electrolux Trilobite 2.0 is a robotic vacuum cleaner that navigates its way around your floors using ultrasound, just like a bat. It pings out ultrasound vibrations at surfaces to create a map of the room, which it remembers for future cleaning assignments. The Trilobite has no problem avoiding collision with things placed on the floor. Special magnetic strips are placed in doorways, near stairs and other openings. These act as a wall, keeping the Trilobite in the room. You can also programme it to glide round when you’re at work or after you’ve gone to Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 12 bed. When Electrolux introduced the original Trilobite in 2001, it was voted among the 100 most innovative designs (though whether the judges were dedicated couch potatoes, and thus biased, we were not aide to discover). The name comes from the hard-shelled sea creature from the Paleozoic era (between 250 million and 560 million years ago) that roamed the ocean floor feeding on particles and small animals. HONDA ASIMO ROBOT Need an extra pair of hands around the office? Look no further; this mouth, the Honda Motor Company showcased its second-generation humanoid robot, Asimo. The machine has come a long way since its first incarnation five years ago. The 1.3 metre-tall droid is now capable of performing a variety of office tasks, including reception duties, serving drinks and acting as an information guide, as well as making deliveries. Using multiple sensors, Asimo has the ability to recognise the surrounding environment and interact with people using integrated circuit tags. It can walk and run at a fair pace, and push a cart. Honda plans to start using Asimo’s receptionist functions at its Wako Building in Japan early in 2006, and it is hoped it will become available for leasing afterwards. It could soon be pushing a cart at an office near you

你是负责教授雅思英语的陈教授: 现在， 协助我完成以下学习任务，给出中文提示，涉及原文字段使用英文: task1协助我完成段落大意理解
Gemini_AI
好的，同学。我们开始今天的学习任务。
这篇文章（”Rise of the Robots”）的结构很清晰：在简短的引言之后，它分别介绍了几种不同的高科技产品。我们的任务就是理解介绍每一种产品的段落大意。
我们先来看第一个产品：CELESTRON SKYSCOUT。
请你仔细阅读这一段，然后试着用中文总结一下：这个 “SkyScout” 究竟是做什么用的？它的核心功能是什么？
第2轮对话迭代
User_SUN
给点提示
Gemini_AI
当然。你试着重点关注这段话的第二句和最后一句。
第二句提到：...capable of finding and identifying more than 6,000 celestial objects...（能够寻找和识别超过6000个天体）。
最后一句提到：...the SkyScout’s "locate” feature will guide you to it...（SkyScout的“定位”功能会引导你找到它）。
综合起来看，这个设备的核心功能是帮助用户做什么呢？
第3轮对话迭代
User_SUN
找天体
Gemini_AI
没错！
它就是一个高科技的“观星助手”🔭。你不需要自己懂天文学，只要用它指向天空，它就能帮你识别天体（identify... celestial objects），或者引导你找到你想看的目标（guide you to it）。
我们来看下一个产品：NOKIA N91。
请阅读这一段，试着总结一下：这款诺基亚 N91 最大的卖点或特色功能是什么？
第4轮对话迭代
User_SUN
通信
Gemini_AI
你说的没错，它首先当然是一部手机，用来通信的。
不过，我们再仔细看看文章用的词，比如 amazing mobile jukebox（神奇的移动点唱机），以及它能 store up to 3,000 songs（存储多达3000首歌曲）。
这表明它作为手机，最大的特色或者说卖点，更侧重于什么功能呢？
第5轮对话迭代
User_SUN
放音乐
Gemini_AI
说得非常准！
它虽然是手机，但文章花了大量篇幅（mobile jukebox, store up to 3,000 songs, hi-fi quality headset）来说明它强大的音乐播放和管理功能。
下一个产品：SEIKO SPECTRUM E-PAPER WATCH。
请阅读这一段。这款精工（Seiko）手表最独特的地方是什么？尤其是它的显示屏有什么特别之处？
第6轮对话迭代
User_SUN
提示我
Gemini_AI
没问题。
请你重点看一下这几句：
...its display is unlike any you have seen before.（它的显示屏和你以前见过的都不同。）...the display is made of “e-paper”...（显示屏是“电子纸”做的。）Because e-paper is so flexible and thin, it allows the display to curve round the wrist...（因为电子纸非常柔韧且薄，它允许显示屏绕着手腕弯曲……）...requires no power to retain an image...（它保持图像显示不需要消耗电量……）
这些特性（flexible, curve round, no power) 组合起来，就是它最特别的地方。你来总结一下？
第7轮对话迭代
User_SUN
柔韧且薄,它保持图像显示不需要消耗电量
Gemini_AI
你抓住了两个关键点！
柔韧且薄 (
flexible and thin)：这让显示屏可以弯曲（curve round the wrist），戴起来更像一个手环。保持图像不耗电 (
requires no power to retain an image)：这意味着它非常省电（batteries last longer）。
所以，这款手表的独特之处在于它使用了可弯曲的、极其省电的电子纸显示屏。
我们来看下一个：HIGH-DEFINITION TV (HDTV)。
这一段比较直接。请问，HDTV 提供的图像质量（image）有什么不同？以及，为什么会有这种不同？
第8轮对话迭代
User_SUN
更锐利、更清晰、更鲜艳
Gemini_AI
这三点说得完全正确！
那么，文章是如何解释为什么HDTV的图像质量更好的呢？（提示：请关注文章后半部分关于 pixels 像素的描述。）
第9轮对话迭代
User_SUN
720p和1080p
Gemini_AI
你找到了关键信息！
就是这个原因：HDTV 使用了更多的像素行（rows of pixels）来显示图像。
HDTV: 720 或 1080 行
传统电视: 576 行
像素行数越多，图像就越精细，所以看起来就更清晰、更锐利。
我们来看倒数第二个产品：ELECTROLUX TRILOBITE 2.0 ROBOT VACUUM CLEANER。
这是一个机器人吸尘器。请阅读这一段，告诉我：
它使用什么技术来“看”路和绘制地图？
主人如何阻止它进入不想让它去的区域？
第10轮对话迭代
User_SUN
用超声波技术看路和绘制地图，主人可通过放置特殊磁条阻止它进入特定区域
Gemini_AI
你总结得非常准确！
导航技术：它使用超声波（
using ultrasound, just like a bat）来创建房间地图（create a map of the room）。区域限制：主人通过放置特殊磁条（
Special magnetic strips）来充当“墙”，阻止它进入。
好的，我们来看最后一个产品：HONDA ASIMO ROBOT。
请阅读最后这一段。这是一个先进的人形机器人。请问，它被设计用来执行哪些具体任务？（提示：文章列举了好几项。）
第11轮对话迭代
User_SUN
办公用的
Gemini_AI
你说得对，它的定位就是办公用途。
文章里具体列举了它能做的几项办公室任务，你能在段落里找到吗？（提示：including... 后面就是答案。）
第12轮对话迭代
User_SUN
找得到，看不懂
Gemini_AI
没问题，我们来一起看。
文章里写的是：...capable of performing a variety of office tasks, including reception duties, serving drinks and acting as an information guide, as well as making deliveries.
我们来分解一下这些任务：
reception duties- 负责接待任务serving drinks- 端送饮料acting as an information guide- 充当信息向导making deliveries- 递送物品
所以，ASIMO 被设计用来在办公室做接待、送饮料、当向导和送东西。
我们已经完成了所有段落的理解。你觉得这篇文章在介绍这些产品时，侧重点有什么共同之处吗？是都只讲了优点，还是也提到了价格、上市时间等方面？
