Someone made a robot that automatically beats Puzzle & Dragons

Fear the future

A reader this morning pointed me towards a pretty cool video by Japan’s “Junya Sakamoto” over on YouTube, where a robot automatically deduces, and then solves puzzles in Puzzle & Dragons. If you watch the clip you’ll actually see the program, “pazudora,” divine the solution (or the best possible outcome), and then hand it off to the robot, which then taps the screen and makes the appropriate move.

In retrospect, I probably could have just solely wrote “Japan, ladies and gentlemen,” in this post and you would have been satisfied.
