World's Fastest Rubik's Cube Solving Robot - Now Official Record is 0.900 Seconds 

I want The Slow Mo Guys on this one!

This is cool, but I feel like if you have to modify the cube to allow the mechanical parts to go that fast you're sort of taking an easy route on the raw robotics challenge of manipulating the puzzle.

Code is now open sourced! github.com/jayflatland/HighFrequencyTwister

these guys are over here building robots that solve rubik's cubes in 1 second and i feel accomplished for remembering to put my clothes from the washer to the dryer

I only thought of one thing... Bring in the slow mo guys!

This is insane guys, awesome job!

while (!cube.solved()){ cube.solve(); } you're welcome

This thing is awesome! Great job, guys! :)

skip to 0:00 for the good bit thank me later

why you gotta take the record away from lego robots :(

Some people think that this is useless. However, this could be a start to something great! For example; when NASA was researching and doing experiments on space, people were thinking that they were waiting their money. But those experiments actually helped out in a lot of medical problems and they also helped to create new medication for many illnesses and diseases! And it did so much more. So machines like this could possibly be the start for great creation and engineered structures! So think twice before you think it's useless!

To all the people in the comments: THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RUBIK'S CUBE FOR COMPETIONS. There is a Rubik's BRAND but you can use whatever cube you want in a competition. Almost every world record since 2010 would not have been set otherwise.

I'd love to see a slow motion of that

Why isn't this viral already ?!

You should make a scrambling application and tell it to keep scrambling forever. I just want to hear this sound for more than one second. It sounds amazing!

modification of a rubiks cube isn't against the rules?

If you could somehow replace those feet with rubber ones that can be pressed against the cube with enough pressure to resist the spinning force, you could do with with unmodified cubes. Which would be a little more legit. Still, awesome.

May I just say this is the second coolest thing I saw today. The first one was a SpaceX rocket taking off, going to the stratosphere than landing back down vertically 8 minutes later. So, pretty freaking awesome guys!

I can solve it faster than that.

Dear god we been solving this cube for over 30 years!!! And we still can't stop

A 3D printer, ATMEGA arduino and USB cameras to give something so amazing.That was really inspiring for an Engineering undergrad like me. Cheers.

FANTASTIC ! I love anything to do with optical recognition and mechanical solutions for engineering challenges. The work put into both the coding and the mechanism is really something to be proud of guys, well done, innovation at it's best :) For all those commenting only about the game aspect, moaning about cheating etc... Take the blue pill, have a cookie and relax, it will all be over soon .

But can it make a sammich?

This is awesome man. Wishing you best of luck for world record.

Wow! Looks really solidly made! Whats next? Instead of a PC try using a Raspberry Pi instead and making it portable?

that is just insane. obviously no human being can spin the cube at these speeds... very impressive indeed guys. Thanks for posting this and showing us how far 3D printing has come

Look out robot, feliks is catching up!

Amazing, an end to world hunger

10/10 Most Useful Invention Ever.

What's the average number of turns that the program uses to solve the cube?

I seem to remember a fellow named Paul Rose that I went to high school with that resembles that man in the video! glad to see that wonderful brain is still doing amazing things. congratulations guys, very cool!... Yates

>Makes a robot that can solve a Rubik's cube in less then a second >Can't even fingertrick the cube while scrambling it

What would happen if you moved a sticker?

1900: In the future we will have flying cars 2017:WE HAVE BUILT THE WORLDS FASTEST RUBIK'S CUBE SOLVER

Thank you for showing us right at the beginning.

I'd love to see this in slow motion

"1.1 seconds" *three and a half minute video*

CHUCK NORRIS PLACES HIS FINISHED CUBE ON THE TABLE AND ALL HE CAN DO IS SIT AND LAUGH WHILST HE WAITS FOR YOURS TO FINISH.

Well, he blocked one of the cameras but all of the other sides were able to see the cube. Its still a beautiful piece of machinary

woah!!! is that a 10x10??

This is awesome. I love super smart people who can also apply and build things.

You guys probably laugh at people like them but people like them who are coders probably make like 10 times the amount money you will ever make.

Video: Robot solves Rubik's cube in 0.900 seconds Feliks: Hold my beer

How could over 700 people dislike this???

Suggestions: use the webcams to detect the state only at the start. Try neural networks for solving the cube, might be faster than predetermined algo (you might even publish new algos based on your research!)

The sound it makes reminds me of that chattering noise from Ghost in the Shell. Cool stuff. I would find it more satisfying if the cube didn't have to be drilled though.

WHY NOT, I THOUGHT(

What have you done!!!! YOU'VE DOOMED US ALLL!!!!!!!

But can You solve a cube tho?

what language was it programmed in?

awesome work guys! But unless they change the rules the world record solve has to be done with hands and not a machine.

This could be how fast someone could be solving it in 100 years

Drilled holes? I thought it had to be a normal, standard cube, as if you had just bought it from toys r us, for it to be considered a record.

"Congratulations Steve, you've mastered a skill computers have made obselete!"

Linux ❤️

Cool you can program like this but waisting time on a cube.... why ?

i have won the records for the longest time a human solves a rubics cube and I'm pretty proud about it

but why... if you guys are smart enough to code and build a machine that does that.. why not build something useful

I don't know why, but it bothers me that they put 0.900 seconds in the title. They could have just put 0.9 cuz it's exactly the same number. It doesn't matter how many zero's are after that 9, it'll still be the same number.

Neat setup. Beats my LEGO cube solver! I'd be happy to solve the blasted thing just once in my life. Pleaaaaase!

Modified cube. Literally cheating.

LOL NOT EVEN BEATING THE 2X2 WORLD RECORD

just shows us how fast machines can process. another next step for robotics

I've seen a robot solve it faster than that

And now, to make every cuber triggered: I have a friend who can solve it like that.

Could of just said 0.9 secs lol

Lol, once you modify it it isn't a rubix cube anymore ahahah

I get it, this is all an elaborate plot to show off your biceps. I see you bro

Wish we had Judges this fast to determine the outcome of pending civil and criminal court cases here in India

We are competing for jobs with that in future. well done

Congragulations, To both of you guys for achieving World Guinness Record!

RU-vid needs to ask users disliking to set a reason first? Why would someone dislike this video!!!

We need a self solving rubrics cube that solves itself whenever you throw it In the air

thats awsome guys i cant imagine how proud u must feel

Can you film this with a super hi-speed camera so we get to see the moves it's making?

Get a GAN 356 Air UM that has been lubed and tensioned properly and I bet they can go faster. I realize the motors are doing the work but they can be helped by a cube that is setup up well.

why would anyone dislike this...? there is nothing wrong about this video....

Its hard that this record was beaten one day before with the Sub1.

The real record should be solved with an unmodified cube, and support a reasonable range of cube sizes (say from 2.0" to 2.5" width). Obviously that's a much more complicated mechanical design, but it's more realistic. When anyone can stick their own personal cube in there and have it solved, then you have a real robot that's more than just a theoretical toy.

This is awesome!! Good work!!

Impressive. I want to see the earlier versions where the thing flies apart.

Thanks Jay and Paul-

I want this awesome machine for scrambling my cubes!

Pretty amazing, good job. You should show the robot solving it in slow mo.

I think you only need 3 webcams as 3 faces determine the remaining 3.

00:05 hey my name is jeff

can you see what happens if you put say 10 red stickers and 8 white on a cube and give it to the machine?

Great job! I'm dealing with a 3 DOF system to control a filament-winding machine, and I'm getting nuts!!! You dealt with 6 DOF + 4 (sensing) cameras. Magnificent! Are you using any kind of optimization algorithm?

I had an idea. I wonder how much slower the robot would be if you had just taught it intuitive F2L and Full OLL and PLL.

The ending. :D Great job guys!

With this robot, I don't need to learn how to solve rubik

this is brilliant! well done guys.

The most unexpected friendship ever

that's pretty cool but am I the only one who thinks that it's incredible that that's only three seconds faster than the world's fastest human doing the same thing

Every time I have seen this video I end up wanting cube steak.......because of the term cube state being used. Love it. makes me hungry. :)

Cool, but I think a much more useful feature would be to automatically scramble the cube so I can solve it. My kids are sick of mixing it up for me.

Dammit sonic... solving a rubiks cube after throwing chilli dog in the air before it touches the ground.

at least now the record is set with an original rubik's cube

Professor's cube now, or a 7x7x7 cube or the 13x13x13 cube on Amazon. Would that even be possible?

Really good job! I wish I had talent like that!
