Japanese scientists are trying to build a robot that will be skilled enough to take part in university admissions tests. The robot will be given artificial intelligence by using a smart computer program that will give admission tests at the University of Tokyo.

Japan’s National Institute of Informatics, led by researcher Noriko Arai, operates like a human brain Robotic The project was undertaken as part of a test to see if alternative construction was possible.

The name of this project is ‘Can a Robot Get Into the University of Tokyo?’ Which started in 2011. If artificial intelligence is not as efficient as humans, then the research team will look into why it is not.

A robot they discovered last year took part in a mock test at Japan’s most competitive university. Passed. But it gets less than 50% marks. Now scientists are trying to improve it.
