The software engineers Jay Flatland and Paul Rose developed a robot that solves the famous Rubik’s cube in less than two seconds. The two have started the application process to the world record.
The machine built consists of printed parts in a 3D printer, four USB cameras and an Arduino chip, which transmits information about faces colorful cube to the computer, which processes them through a program based on the Linux operating system. Calculations to put each of their color cube faces are made using the Kociemba algorithm.
Jay Flatland and Paul Rose consider the robot “extremely fast”, but it was necessary to make small holes in the central square each side of the cube so that the machine could handle it. Who did not need to change the cube for the resolution of record for the Rubik’s Cube was Luke Etter, 14, who in October last year set the bar for speed resolution (for humans) below 5/2 (4.9).
Check out the video down times of the robot, which in the first two attempts recorded a time of 1,196 seconds, the third time successfully solved the puzzle in 1047/2.
