The Sub 1 Reloaded robot, which is designed by a German engineer, beat the previous Guinness world record of completing the famous puzzle Rubik's cube for only 0.637 second. The former record was 0.887 second.
The German engineer, Albert Beer, designed the robot with cameras, six mechanical arms and computer algorithms. With these devices, the robot completed the mind-boggling Rubik's Cube with increased speed.
So, how did the robot complete this famous puzzle in just almost a blink of an eye? According to the Guinness World Records, the computer accepts two pictures of the cube and recognizes the color of each piece. Then, it analyses a solution with Tom Rokicki's very fast implementation of Herbert Kociemba's Two Phase Algorithm. Once this process was done, it handed over to an Arduino-compatible Infineon AURIX microcontroller board that arranges the 21 moves of six high-performance steppers, to turn each side of the cube.
The competition was held at the electronica trade fair in Munich, Germany, late in 2016. On the other hand, the Guinness World Records carefully reviewed and evaluated the evidence guaranteeing that the cube and the pre-scrambling met all the standards of the World Cube Association. Finally, it confirmed and officially proclaimed that Sub 1 Reloaded robot is the new title-holder just last Friday, according to Fox News.
Meanwhile, the human record for solving a Rubik's Cube is granted to Lucas Etter in November 2015. He solved this mind-boggling the puzzle for just 4.904 seconds. The Guinness World Records also gives recognition to the world's "first robot table tennis tutor," which is a ping pong playing robot in Japan.
