THIS robot will attempt to break a Rubik’s cube world record.
The RuBot 2 can solve the puzzle in less than 35 SECONDS, says his inventor Pete Redmond.

Boffin Pete said: The RuBot 2 is not the first Rubik’s Cube solving robot, but it has to be the coolest looking - and I truly believe it to be the fastest robotic Cube solver ever.


There are cameras in RuBot 2’s eyes that scan the cube before his pneumatic arms solve it.

"He uses a very efficient computer algorithm to figure out how to unjumble the mixed up Rubik's Cube and usually comes up with a solution of less than 20 moves.


"After the scan, he can usually do the solve in about 35 seconds, no matter how much it is mixed up.


The Guinness World Record attempt includes scanning time, and I am confident that we can do our complete scan and solve in around 60 seconds."


The RuBot 2 will go for the record at Royal Dublin Society, Ballsbridge, in Dublin on January 8.

肚子上有个计时器，很酷

若用更深的蓝之类的超级计算机，最优解没准也是瞬间计算出来

我看这个机器人挺“狡猾”的，从视频上看，他是自己还原，也是自己计时，基本没有反应时间。
