A team of Purdue undergraduates has smashed the world record for the fastest machine solve of a Rubik's cube with the absurd time of 103 milliseconds. For reference, it takes 200 to 300 ...

An artificial intelligence-aided robot from Mitsubishi Electric shattered the world record for solving Rubik's Cube in less than a second.

The first thing is that the world record reported is for "fastest robot to solve a rotating puzzle cube." That intriguingly sidesteps the much better-known "Rubik's Cube" identifier.

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Matthew Petrohay about his team's undergraduate project at Purdue University. They built a robot that set a new world record for shortest time to solve a Rubik's cube.

The robot, which the team has dubbed the “Purdubik’s Cube,” was awarded “fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube" by Guinness World Records in April.

In fact, the team says that the actual Rubik's Cube – not the robot – is what's currently slowing them down. If they go any faster, the cube itself could disintegrate.

Solving a Rubik’s Cube is a challenge for most people. For a team of students from Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, it became an ...

The officially-recognized Rubik's cube world record belongs to Lucas Etter, who, at the age of 14, in solved a cube in 4.904 seconds in 2015.

The robot scans each side of the cube using a webcam and applies a special software algorithm to figure out the solution. But the fastest time for solving the Rubik’s Cube is still held by a ...

Solving a Rubik's Cube can be difficult in itself - so a boy built a robot to do it for him. Noah Hinkle, 9, from Missouri says he built a robot using Legos to solve Rubik's Cubes.
