The "Todai Robot Project" is an effort from computer scientists at Fujitsu Labs that involves programming a robot to pass the University of Tokyo's very tough entrance exam.

The institution is considered one of Asia's best. So far, the AI has only managed to score 40% from taking science and math papers. The researchers are hoping to see the robot get "high marks" by 2016, and then get full-on acceptance into the university by 2021.

The ultimate goal of this project is to make calculation technology more robust to help solve various math problems, like mathematical analysis and optimization technology, and to automate advanced mathematical analysis for real-world problem solving.
