edit: about your first sentence, the key word is supposed to, but thats not always the case.

There is no A.I. involved. It's an algorithm... it looks at the arrangement of the tiles and follows it's instructions. A.I. would involve a learning mechanism where the robot would receive basic instructions and improve on it by itself until it has perfected it.

Yes, robots are supposed to be perfect... well at least perform their task perfectly. What would be the point in designing a machine to do something half right? Yes, like any mechanical equipment they require maintenance and repairs.
