Google Assistant can control Android apps and now, it seems, it can tie your shoelaces. This is not some brilliant helper that can magically teach a lace-tying technique to children faster than you can sing “A Spoonful of Sugar” so that, like Mary Poppins, you’re practically perfect in every way.

No, no, if you have a pair of Nike Adapt bb sneakers, which have a lacing system that adjusts to the shape of your foot electronically, you can, as pointed out by the excellent Stephen Hall at 9to5Google, tie your shoelaces using Google.
I mean, not only do these sneakers adjust the lacing, they are rechargeable – wirelessly – on a dedicated charging mat. Nike is keen to point out that when the batteries in your shoes run down, which may itself be a new concept for most of us, your shoes will still unlace. Well, that’s a relief.
It works through the Google Assistant Shortcuts page, which lets you see what shortcuts are associated with the apps you have installed.

So, if you say, “Hey, Google, open Nike Adapt and unlace,” your shoes will release your laces so you can step out of them.
Hurrah! That’s so much better than just reaching all the way down to your feet and pulling on a lace, right?

Okay, so it’s a gimmick, but it’s pretty darn cool and very specific. You can command your phone to loosen the laces in 5% increments. If like me, you’ve never thought about loosening your laces in percentage terms, then you have a learning curve ahead of you.
But improvements in the system mean you can now say, “Hey, Google, lace it”, which is still ridiculous but at least you’ve said it quicker.

If you want to see it in action, there’s even a video from Stephen over at 9to5Google, though it’s also right here.
Other apps, you’ll be hugely relieved to learn, can also take advantage of these shortcuts, which are designed so you can do things with your voice when your hands are full. So you don’t have to buy Nike Adapts to make the most of it. Though they are pretty neat.

Other apps include Nike run Club, MyFitnessPal, Etsy, Spotify, and Walmart – though there are no tightening or loosening options with any of those, sadly.

Using a 5G-powered robot, doctors at a hospital in east China's Zhejiang Province conducted an ultrasound scan for a patient 700 km away in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, the center of the novel coronavirus outbreak, according to the Science and Technology Daily.

In line with the patient's ultrasonic images transmitted back in real-time, two doctors, Peng Chengzhong and Ye Ruizhong of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital operated a robotic arm via a 5G network that performed the ultrasound scan for a patient in a makeshift hospital in Wuhan.

It was not the first time 5G remote ultrasound technology had been used to treat novel coronavirus patients in China.

The country's first remote ultrasonic medical certificate was issued when Peng conducted an ultrasound scan for a suspected patient in a small city of Zhejiang on Feb. 2.

The 5G smart medical innovation laboratory jointly established by Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, telecommunication giant China Telecom and tech giant Huawei, has provided technical support for the two cases.

 A few minutes of cardiopulmonary ultrasound examination will produce up to 2GB of ultrasonic image data, with a high transmission speed and low latency.

 It was also not the first time 5G-powered robots have played a full role in China's epidemic prevention and control.

The 5G cloud intelligent robots developed by another telecommunication giant China Mobile and robot maker CloudMinds have been working in Hubei Province and other places, providing medical services such as remote care, body temperature tests, spraying disinfectants, cleaning, and drug delivery.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a notice that it would support the application of the Internet, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence in areas such as epidemic monitoring, virus sources tracing, epidemic prevention and treatment.
