Rubik's cube
Software engineers Jay Flatland and Paul Rose recently built the Rubik’s cube-solving machine and uploaded it in a YouTube video for the world to see.
The robot unscrambled the cube in just 1.047 seconds which breaks The Guinness World Record for fastest time to solve a Rubik’s cube. It was recently held by a robot that solved the puzzle in 2.39 seconds in November.
Flatland and Rose’s machine uses the Kociemba Rubik’s cube solving algorithm to solve the cube. Flatland said in the video that they are “in the process right now of applying for an official world record.”
Flatland and Rose’s machine was built by plugging separate motors supported by a 3D-printed frame into drilled holes in a Rubik’s Cube while four USB webcams hooked up to a computer “determine the state” of the cube’s colors “very rapidly,” Flatland said in the video.
The creators used a 3D printer to “print” the parts used to hold the Rubik’s cube in place. They also took out the cube to show the cube’s authenticity.
