Don't blink now: Robot does speed cube puzzle solution in 0.38 seconds
March 9, 2018 by Nancy Owano, Tech Xplore
A robot (home-made, mind you) can solve the cube in 0.38 seconds. That represents the time "from the moment the keypress is registered on the computer, to when the last face is flipped," said Ben Katz in his blog about the feat. He collaborated with Jared Di Carlo to create the robot.
That smashes a record. Ars Technica's Timothy Lee said solving the puzzle in 0.38 seconds marked "a 40-percent improvement over the previous record of 0.637."
