MIT Robot Breaks Rubik’s Cube Record

A robot developed by MechE graduate student Ben Katz from MIT’s Biomimetics Lab and electrical engineering student Jared Di Carlo can solve a Rubik’s Cube in a record-breaking 0.38 seconds.

[@cgibbard]

I like how at 0.03x speed, it seems as if more optimisation could perhaps be done by doing a bit of corner cutting rather than waiting for each face to fully stabilise. At those speeds though, you'd probably risk destroying the cube.

[@guisampaio2008]

Just get a better cube made of carbon fiber or something.

[@neilbrock6417]

How did that cube even stay together!?

[@theuglytruth5556]

The engineering required to keep the cube together is probably a bigger achievement than solving it so fast.

[@speakeuropeanportuguese]

They have placed the feet of the computer on the strongest points of the cube..it is an extremely smooth moving cube.This seems to be a 'rigged' cube to me though. It looks like they worked backwards in a few simple moves to make it look unsolved and then went in reverse...not convinced ;)

[@matahugu8675]

I know right

[@Asyssion-_-]

@@speakeuropeanportuguese it was about roughly 40 moves

[@TheRemo176]

@@Asyssion-_- it's a sign it was indeed a setup, algorithms can solve in about 25 moves usually, and it didn't look like it was any know method

Wait, a Rubik’s cube can be solved?

Presumably that rubics cube is custom made to be extra sturdy. I can't see a standard, off-the-shelf rubics cube be able to witstand those kinds of forces! :)

So, is the 0.38 sec a result restrained by mechanical movement ?
What would the time be for a virtual cube ?

[@nicbentulan]

now i know that that 'whatever happened to robot jones' thing was legit...

They needed this camera to film DuYuSheng's attempt lol.

[@khriz-zc8yu]

What method is that?

Is this more advanced than B the robot??

what method does it use?(roux, cfop?) also gan should really watch this

Watch the .25x on .25x speed and same with 0.03x speed you can see it better on 0.03x

[@os4mike]

Would never have guessed by the real-time speed that this was 20 moves . Awesome 👍🙂

How come the orange tiles are coloured black

[@raghavmurthy7387]

Amazed! 0.38!

[@juliusmakowski7665]

@Jon Kentucky Where did you get those information? I thought that the colours are scanned and than the best way (so max. 20 moves) is calculated, not that the scanner says "stop" when it looks right. Is there a detailed document on the code?

[@miraclechijioke1213]

WTF?? Some codes and commands had been inputed

[@elayda93]

one question (it might sound stupid but I'll try): why was the orange tiles painted black?

[@robonsawin]

Probably because it’s easier for the webcam to recognize than the similar red/orange colors

[@yedisonmarquez9671]

amazing

[@dumm005]

People can be so salty of other people's achievements 🤐

[@jogle9013]

fr they built an AI/robot (idk the difference) that can solve a rubik's cube in 1 second. Not only did they have to figure out the best method, they had to program the robot to find and complete the best method.

[@nirbhaygurjar7015]

Well i think it had scanned the cube and it did solve the cube by different methods and choose lowest move, if yes, then try giving it i would like to see how much time till it solves it (with scanning time(very low i guess)+different calculation and solving).

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Huh?

[@NoOne-gd9mw]

...

[@_carrbgamingjr]

@@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff basically the person above thinks that they had unlimited inspection time, so they tried each solution to see which was fastest. They would like to see how mast it can solve a cube with a few seconds for inspection time

Now use a carbon fiber cube.

[@shypenguin9766]

Did that robot even use any algorithms or did it just solve it backwards? It looks like it did the latter

[@elliottperkins-speedcuber6727]

It scanned for an optimal solution and then executed it. You don’t need algs if you’re a computer

[@336suryasunkaramech5]

Gods algorithm, every possible permutation can be solved in 20 or less steps, they are using computers to generate the alg....

No, the shafts that attach to the middle of each side are motor controlled. You can see them turning in slow motion.
