Purdue's Record-Breaking Rubik's Cube Robot: Fastest Solve in 0.103s

Purdue's Rubik's Cube Robot: How Students Built the World’s Fastest Cube Solver What’s the fastest time a Rubik’s Cube has been solved? That’s a question many speed cubing enthusiasts and curious minds ask. Purdue University’s engineering students have now provided the answer. Their creation,  Purdubik's Cube , set a Guinness World Record by solving the iconic puzzle in just  0.103 seconds —an astonishing feat that’s nearly a third of the previous record. This breakthrough combines high-speed robotic engineering, cutting-edge machine vision technology, and innovative solving techniques. Engineering a Rubik’s Cube Record Breaker Setting a record isn’t just about speeding up a robot’s movements. Purdue’s team—Junpei Ota, Aden Hurd, Matthew Patrohay, and Alex Berta—delved deep into  robotic optimization , using  high-speed Flir cameras , custom image detection, and a modified cube built for extreme durability. Their robot's vision system, capturing images in just  10 microseconds , sk…
