Students have to take tests. Sometimes, robots do too. Torobo from Japan is one of these robots. Torobo is a robot brain with two arms. It is part of a project called “Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo?” A group of Japanese scientists started it in 2011.

To go to the University of Tokyo, Torobo has to take Japan’s national college entrance exam. So in 2013, the robot started to take the test with Japanese students.

Sadly, Torobo has failed the test every year. It couldn’t get a good enough score for the University of Tokyo. This year it was the same.

Torobo has a big database (数据库). So it is good at knowledge and calculations (计算). That’s why it got high scores in physics, history and math.

But Torobo is not good at thinking by itself. So it got poor scores in language and writing.

Scientists started the Torobo project to learn about the intellectual abilities (智能) of machines.

Now after Torobo’s four years of hard work, they may have learned a lot.
