(ECNS) -- A robot will attend next year's gaokao, or national college entrance exam, and aspires to get an offer from one of China's top universities in 2017, West China Metropolis Daily reports.

The robot will include three independent artificial intelligence modules that will handle maths, Chinese language and comprehensive liberal arts exams.

According to Lin Hui, CEO of a Chengdu-based artificial intelligence R&D company, the robot will take next year's national college entrance exam in a separate room at the same time and under the same conditions as senior high school students.

Over the recent May Day holiday, the robot worked hard on solving problems and its studies, Fu Hongguang, head of the math module research team and a professor at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, told the paper. It scored 115 in maths on one of Beijing's past gaokao exams, Fu said.

The "gaokao robot", also dubbed the "Super Brain Program", has been included in China's National High Technology Research and Development Program (863 Program). R&D of the math module is led by an artificial intelligence development company based in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province, the paper stated.

According to plans, China's "gaokao robot" aims to get an offer from Peking University and Tsinghua University by 2020. Japan is also developing a similar robot, which aspires to get an offer from the University of Tokyo by 2020.
