About a year ago last march, a robot called the Sub1 solved a Rubik’s Cube in 0.637-seconds, earning it the Guinness World Record for being the fastest cube-solving bot. That honor now appears to be ...

There’s no music to go along with the above video of the new world record for fastest solve of a Rubik’s Cube set by a machine, but if there were, we imagine it would go something like this: “Anything ...

Anyone who has lived through the 1980s knows how maddeningly difficult it is to solve a Rubik's Cube, and to accomplish the feat without peeling the stickers off and rearranging them. It's not just ...

Humans may have gotten pretty adept at solving Rubik's Cubes, but as usual, the machines are coming for us! This machine, invented by Ben Katz and Jared Di Carlo (humans!) can solve a Rubik's Cube in ...

A machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without human assistance, according to a group of UC Irvine researchers. Two algorithms developed by the researchers, collectively called Deep Cube, ...

Solving Rubik’s Cubes is a learnable skill. However, to compete at the top level, you’ll have to train hard. Speed cubers can solve a 3×3 cube in under ten seconds these days, after all. [aaedmusa] ...

A talented machine lays claim to a new world record for solving a scrambled Rubik's Cube, and it's a wonder to behold. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for ...

We love a good Rubik’s Cube solver and the mechanical engineering on this one is both elegant and functional. This is the first time we remember hearing about the FAC system, which is a standard set ...

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm which can solve a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second, according to a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The system, known as ...

Why it matters: Solving a puzzle box is not the only problem autodidactic iteration can solve. The deep-learning algorithms used in Deep Cube can be applied in other fields that require complex ...
