World record for Rubik's Cube robot race: the beat goes on
From TechXplore:
Yet more world record news in how fast a machine can work out the Rubik's Cube. This time a cube-solving robot was unleashed and solved the Rubik's Cube in 0.900 seconds.
On January 26, we reported how Jay Flatland and Paul Rose had presented a robot that clocked "a time five times quicker than any human can manage."
Flatland jumbled the colored block and covered the webcam—drumroll please—racing to the finish line in 1.047 seconds. That was January. On February 5, Flatland and Rose demonstrated their robot in front of a crowd of around 100 people including an official Guinness judge, who certified their record time at 0.900 seconds.
