Japanese researchers are working on a robot they
hope will be smart enough to ace entrance exams at the nation's top
university, which test everything from maths to foreign languages.
The robot's artificial brain would analyse a mash
of words, numbers, and equations before spitting out the -- hopefully --
correct answer to questions on Tokyo University's notoriously tough
exam.
"It has to analyse the exam questions and convert
formulations and equations to a form that it can process before solving
it through computer algebra," said Hidenao Iwane from Fujitsu Laboratories, the Japanese IT giant's research unit.
Fujitsu and Japan's National Institute of
Informatics said the target is to have their robot score high marks on
the exam for Tokyo University, one of the world's top-ranked schools, by
2021.
