Question

It's a sad story: someone keeps failing to get into the university of Tokyo for for years.It's the story of Torobo, a robot from Japan.

Torobo has been trying to enter the University of Tokyo in Japan.The university, also called Todai, is one of Asia’s top universities.Since 2015, Torobo has taken the national college entrance exam with other Japanese students .However, the robot has failed to get the required score for Todai every year.This year was no exception.

Torobo is part of a project called"Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo?" Japan's National Institute of Informatics started the project in 2013.Torobo is a robot brain that has arms to finish the test.

Researchers of the project want to find out what intellectual abilities(智能)will be taken place by machines.Results show that Torobo has grown in ability year by year.This year it got a score higher than Japan's national average(平均数), which is enough to enter other good universities, but not Todai.

With its big database(数据库), Torobo is good at solving knowledge—based questions and mathematical calculations.That's why it got good scores in physics, history and math.But Torobo has a hard time thinking independently.As a result, it got weak scores in language and writing.

Luckily, after four years of hardship, researchers have decided to stop Torobo from taking the test.They will grow Torobo's ability in the fields it's doing well n, so that it can be used in those industries in the future.

So though Torobo will never graduate from Todai, it can still look forward to a bright future.
