Robot Shatters Guinness World Record, Solves Rubik's Cube 10 Times Faster Than Any Human
A specially constructed Mistubuishi robot in Japan achieved a new Guinness World Record for solving a Rubik's Cube in a split second.The champion TOKUI Fast Accurate Synchronized Motion Testing Robot completed the multicoloured six-faced puzzle in 0.305 seconds, breaking the previous record of 0.38 seconds established by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology bot in 2018.
Who is the robot who solved the Rubik's cube the fastest??
It was much faster than human record-holder Max Park's "holy grail" mark of 3.13 seconds in 2023."Shaving off time as much as possible was difficult, but it was fun at the same time," said Tokui, the project's lead engineer and the robot's name.
"I checked the videos of the previous record holder, and I felt that the motor we have is better than theirs," he stated."So I was confident that we can beat them with speed."?
What does the robot typically handle??
Tokui, who typically handles motor-related items for the electronics maker, initially produced it too fast for its own good and had to troubleshoot.
If the four-sided, quick-spinning mechanism turned the cube too hard, it would jam the puzzle, as Tokui and his team discovered on their first official attempt at the record.?

However, the second attempt — Smithsonian Magazine reported a 20-minute tuning session following the first attempt — became a record-breaking triumph in late May.
How did the robot solve the Rubik's cube??
The company's signal-responsive motors and an artificially intelligent color-recognizing algorithm, both unique to Mitsubishi, contributed to its success."I know that our products can make the world an even better place," Tokui said of the technology that enabled the record-breaking achievement.?
"I hope the record will allow people everywhere to know what our products are capable of."?
