A new robot can solve a Rubik's Cube in 0.887 seconds

A new robot can solve a Rubik's Cube in 0.887 seconds





A new world record has been set for solving a Rubik's Cube, reducing the time to less than one second.
Yes, really. The new champion though isn't a human, but a robot created by industrial engineer Adam Beer. His robot, called Sub1, managed to solve a Cube in just 0.887 seconds. To put this into context, this is probably faster than you just read this sentence.
What's perhaps most remarkable is that the record Sub1 beat had only been held for a few weeks. Back at the end of January a separate team managed to build a similar robot that could solve a Cube in 0.9 seconds - so this latest attempt has shaved just 0.003 seconds off of the time.
Apparently now the creators are attempting to get in touch with Guinness, to certify it as a World Record.
