Blink and you’ll miss it! Record-breaking robot can solve a Rubik’s Cube in 0.305 seconds – 10 times faster than the quickest human

  • Engineers at Mitsubishi have created the Rubik’s Cube-solving robot
  • Incredible footage shows the robot completing the puzzle in just 0.305 seconds

It’s a puzzle that can keep most people entertained for hours.

But the Rubik’s Cube is light work for one robot, who has officially broken the Guinness World Record for the fastest robot to solve a rotating puzzle cube.

The bot can complete the puzzle in just 0.305 seconds – so it’s safe to say that if you blink, you’ll miss it!

That’s about 10 times faster than the fastest human, who can solve the puzzle in an impressive 3.13 seconds.

The record ‘fastest robot to solve a rotating puzzle cube’ has been popular for years.

In 2009, the record was one minute and four seconds, but it has gradually become shorter over the years.

In 2016, the record finally broke the one-second barrier.

Now a team of engineers at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has raised the bar after setting an impressive new record.

“I watched the videos of the previous record holder and I felt that the bike we have is better than theirs,” said Tokui, who led the record attempt.

“So I was confident we could beat them with speed.”

The robot has a series of motors that work in combination with each other to move the cube very quickly

The robot has a series of motors that work in combination with each other to move the cube very quickly.

However, during the testing process, the team encountered an unexpected problem: the cube had difficulty keeping up with the robot’s speed.

During the first official record attempt, the puzzle got stuck.

Fortunately, with some refinement, the team was able to solve the problem and solve it a second time.

“I know our products can make the world an even better place,” Tokui said.

‘I hope people all over the world can know what our products are capable of.’
