This Panasonic microcomputer controlled rice cooker uses fuzzy logic to cook great rice every time.
By monitoring temperature and moisture content, this rice cooker can increase or decrease temperature as needed during the cooking cycle to make sure the rice is done just as you want it.
Some review sites listed it as a budget fuzzy rice cooker, but in Canada, it costs more than the Tiger brand fuzzy logic rice cooker so check that one out before you buy the Panasonic. The Tiger is about half the price, although Wirecutter said it didn’t make good rice.

Panasonic Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker Review
Wirecutter ranked it as the #6 on their list claiming it was the 'Competition' in their product review. [April 2020]
Wirecutter tested this rice cooker because it was one of the cheapest fuzzy logic rice cookers. They didn't like how long it took to cook rice, and they also noticed there was no finishing jingle to let them know when it was done cooking. None of their complaints said that it didn't cook rice well, which is why I think it's worth including in the list as a budget fuzzy logic rice cooker.
Alternative to consider:
The SR-ZG105 is a discontinued rice cooker. While not exactly the same (and why would it be if its a replacement?), this rice cooker from Panasonic is also microcomputer controlled and has even more auto cooking menus for a variety of meals and grain types - even cakes!
