Robot passes China's national medical licensing examination

The robot named Xiao Yi scored 456, exceeding the acceptance line by 96 points. It is the first robot in China to participate in the exam with full marks of 600.

To get a good exam result, the researchers of XiaoYi started to prepare for the exam since June 2016. They input knowledge from tens of medical textbooks into Xiao Yi's brain. To deal with the problem, researchers invited medical experts for Xiao Yi in February to learn clinical experience and case diagnosis. Robot Xiao Yi can offer some possible suggestions to doctors, and help them solve the problems more rapidly, or avoid some risks.
