A Japanese robot has set a new world record for solving a Rubik's cube, demonstrating a phenomenal speed of 0,305 seconds.
This achievement, recorded in the Guinness World Records, is almost 10 times faster than the speed of the fastest person.
The secret of success lies in the clever design of the robot. It is equipped with a series of interconnected motors that manipulate puzzle pieces with lightning-fast precision.
However, on the way to the record, the team encountered an unforeseen obstacle: the Rubik's cube itself could not keep up with the speed of the robot.
During the first test, a piece of the puzzle simply got stuck. But after a little modification of the mechanism, the record was conquered.
The development of robots that can quickly solve a Rubik's cube is not new. In 2009, the record was 1 minute and 4 seconds. Since then, the time barrier has been steadily decreasing.
In 2016, the robot already completed the task in less than a second, reports “MIR 24” with reference to The Daily Mail.
