How college students built the fastest Rubik's Cube-solving robot yet
Briefly

A team from Purdue University's Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering achieved a new Guinness World Record by solving a Rubik's Cube in just 0.103 seconds. The team did not rely solely on speed; they employed advanced low-res camera systems, a specially designed robust cube, and a technique favored by human speed cubers. This achievement surpasses the previous record of 0.305 seconds held by Mitsubishi Electric, showcasing a decade-long evolution in technology and engineering dedicated to cube-solving robots.
"Each robot that previous world record-holders has done has kind of focused on one new thing," Patrohay tells The Verge.
"Their robot has come to be known as Purdubik's Cube. Bringing the robot record down to less than half a second required moving away from Lego and, instead, using optimized components like industrial motors."
