How long will it take for you to solve the Rubik's cube? This robot takes only 0.637 seconds

[Abstract] The robot only cracked the Rubik's Cube in 0.637 seconds. The human record was 4.904 seconds. The two are far apart.

Tencent Digital (Jiahe) The Hungarian architect Erno Rubik invented Rubik Rubik's Cube more than 30 years ago, but he may never have imagined that the Rubik's Cube will be so fast by robots today. Speed ​​cracked.

The German technology company Infineon developed a robot called "Sub1 Reloaded", which is powered by the world's most powerful microcomputer. At the beginning of the year, the Electronica Trade Fair was held in Munich, Germany. The robot broke the Rubik's Cube in 0.637 seconds and set a new record. The Guinness Book of World Records has already recognized its achievements.

The organizers of the Guinness Book of World Records stated that they had evaluated in detail and ensured that the Rubik's cube was disrupted in advance and met the WCA standards. Only after confirmation did they acknowledge the new record.

The robot took less than one second to analyze the Rubik's Cube and then cracked it in 21 steps. The previous world record was 0.887 seconds, and the new record was 0.637 seconds. The previous record was created by the prototype of the same machine.

From the very beginning, we must disrupt the Rubik's Cube and let its complexity reach the standards of the “World Rubik's Cube”. Then the robot intervenes. It has a number of sensor cameras installed, and the camera head quickly scans, allowing the “robot eyes” to see the layout of the Rubik's cube. The robot can know through analysis how the Rubik's Cube is disrupted.

The brain of the machine is a microchip that uses complex algorithms to draw instructions and tell the machine how to crack the cube. It takes less than 0.15 milliseconds.

Next, the semiconductor "muscle" mounted on the robot will drive six motors, each of which is responsible for the Rubik's cube, quickly adjusting the flip cube and solving problems.

Because the speed is too fast, the robot uses a special cube and the friction between the components is low.

Compared with robots, humans have a lot of speed. The current human record is 4.904 seconds. Last year, 14-year-old Lucas Etter created this record.

Quickly solving the Rubik's cube is not an urgent problem. Infineon just wants to prove that microelectronics technology is quite outstanding and efficient in solving some technological problems. Infineon wants to prove the speed and reliability of Aurix microcontrollers with robots. Aurix's goal is to help autopilot cars sense the environment and avoid collisions.
