Japanese Robot's Dream Shattered as it Fails Top University Entry Exam


The robot called Torobo-kun has now failed in the entry exam for four years in a row and will have to work in a “real job” in the industry.
“As the robot scored about the same as last year, we were able to gauge the possibilities and limits of artificial intelligence,” said Noriko Arai, a professor at the National Institute of Informatics.
“From now on, we will grow its abilities in the fields it’s doing well in and aim to improve them to levels that can be applied in industry,” said Arai, who heads the team behind Torobo-kun.
Torobo-kun has made several attempts to pass the National Centre Test, a standardised exam adopted by Japanese universities, since 2013, The Asahi Shimbun reported.
The robot tackled a mock exam designed by education-publishing company Benesse Corp, just like it had in 2015. The exam consisted of eight tests in five subjects and the robot scored 525 out of 950.
