About a year ago last march, a robot called the Sub1 solved a Rubik’s Cube in 0.637-seconds, earning it the Guinness World Record for being the fastest cube-solving bot. That honor now appears to be ...

A machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without human assistance, according to a group of UC Irvine researchers. Two algorithms developed by the researchers, collectively called Deep Cube, ...

There’s no music to go along with the above video of the new world record for fastest solve of a Rubik’s Cube set by a machine, but if there were, we imagine it would go something like this: “Anything ...

Solving Rubik’s Cubes is a learnable skill. However, to compete at the top level, you’ll have to train hard. Speed cubers can solve a 3×3 cube in under ten seconds these days, after all. [aaedmusa] ...

Anyone who has lived through the 1980s knows how maddeningly difficult it is to solve a Rubik's Cube, and to accomplish the feat without peeling the stickers off and rearranging them. It's not just ...

We love a good Rubik’s Cube solver and the mechanical engineering on this one is both elegant and functional. This is the first time we remember hearing about the FAC system, which is a standard set ...

At the Swinburne University of Technology in Australia, a bunch of students just invented a machine called Ruby, which can solve a Rubik’s Cube in 10.69 seconds—the fastest ever for a robot. The robot ...
