7 Rubik's Cube World Record Robots - Fastest & New Inventions
On this list, we are going to see Rubik's Cube Robts which broke world records: fastest and the unique new inventions. We will explain how a self-solving Rubik's cube works and will also talk about the Open AI's robot hand that can solve the Rubik's cube and also will talk about the Gan Robot which is made for consumers and is powered by a smartphone.
1. Cubestomer 3 (made from LEGO)
Powered by Samsung Galaxy S4, CubeStormer 3 robot broke the Guinness World Record for solving a Rubik's cube in 3.253 seconds in 2014. The robot was built by Mike Dobson and David Gilday, creators of CubeStormer 1, Android Speedcuber and CubeStormer 2.
2. Paul Rose and Jay Flatland Rubik's Cube Robot
This Rubik’s cube solving robot was developed by two software developers Paul Rose and Jay Flatland. On February 5th, 2016, the machine broke the 2.39 seconds world record held by Zackary Gromko’s robot, by solving the cube in 0.9 seconds using. Four USB webcams are used to feed data into software running on a Linux PC that determines the cube-state and this, in turn, is relayed to the Kociemba Rubik's Cube solving algorithm. The algorithm then determines a set of moves to solve the Rubik's Cube and the instructions are sent to the stepper motors.
3. Sub1 Reloaded
Built by Infineon's engineer Albert Beer from Germany, The Sub1 Reloaded smashed the Guinness World Record by becoming the fastest robot to solve a Rubik's with just 0.637 seconds in November 2016. This breaks the previous record of 0.887 seconds achieved by an earlier version of the same machine using a different processor. While every Rubik's Cube can be solved with just 20 movements, Albert did not design the computer to use the fewest moves. Instead, he programmed it to achieve the best time, allowing the Sub1 Reloaded to take extra moves to reach its goal.
4. Rubik's Contraption
Currently, Rubik's Contraption is the fastest robot to solve Rubik’s cube. Developed by M.I.T’s graduate Ben Katz and Jared DiCarlo, the robot solved the Rubik’s cube in just 0.38 seconds in 2018. The robot is built from custom parts that are easily acquirable. It uses six Kollmorgen's ServoDisc U9-series motors, which can be obtained relatively cheaply on eBay, as well as optical encoders on the back, also from eBay. To detect the current state of the cube, a pair of Playstation 3 Eye webcams were positioned at opposite corners of the cube, allowing each camera to observe three faces. A special software was developed to identify all the colors, build a description of the cube and pass it to the min2phase solver which implements Kociemba's two-phase algorithm.
5. Dactyl - Robot Hand
Unlike other Rubik cube solving robots, this is a humanoid robotic hand is not designed specifically for solving Rubik’s cube. It is designed for general purpose, self-learning robots. It is called Dactyl. Developed by Artificial intelligence research organization OpenAI, Dactyl has learned to solve a Rubik’s cube one-handed. It is not as fast as those purpose-built Rubik’s solvers, because the robotics team at OpenAI has very different ambitions. They are trying to build something that is much more general in its scope, similar to how humans and how human hands can do a lot of things, not just a specific task.
6. A Self-Solving Rubik’s Cube
You might think that there are some camera tricks or visual effects in this video, well.. you are not alone. Many people thought so too when the Japanese inventor, Human Controller posted this video on his youtube channel. This is a real Rubik’s Cube that can completely solve itself while floating in mid-air.
How does a self-solving Rubik's cube work?
With the help of the “first two layers” or the F2L algorithm, the Arduino board at the heart of the cube controls the 3D printed custom cores full of servo motors that spin any of its multi-colored sides. The levitation was made possible by installing powerful magnets in both the cube and the table under it.
7. GAN Robot
The GAN Robot can both scrambles and solves a 3x3 Rubik’s cube using a smartphone app. For now, it can only solve the GAN 356i cube. It can solve the cube in less than 15 seconds after calculating the best solving path in 0.01s. The robot is perfect for teaching people to solve the cube step by step, scrambling cubes uniformly in competitions for fair and accurate results.

Bruh moment
WOW these people need to be prevented from breeding! Oh no need thats already been taken care of!
In the above video, are you sure it solved in .09 seconds? I think it was 0.9 seconds. kzhead.info/sun/eq6ElMZ_eHhve2g/bejne.html

Flying cars would be "practical". Flying RCs would serve no useful purpose. Please clarify your point.
@@jennifertate4397 Its a joke
@@michaelvega3884 Hello. Sorry if you were offended. I knew it was a joke, I just didn't, . . . And actually, if you watch Cubastic's "Solving a Rubik's Cube in Freefall", I guess you could call it a flying cube (laughs and smiles).

Floating self-solving cube was my favorite!
Wow! That's great. I can now sleep better at night knowing this thing exists.

i love how the first one is made out of legos lol
you have no idea how many things can be made with legos. Their shopping site sells all kinds of electronics that can be used with legos. Nowadays Legos can easily get so complicated that they can become not for children.
So true, my friends and I often visualize new ideas in Lego first because it doesn't need glue and can be reused
It’s not just regular LEGO. It is a set meant for coding, robots, etc. I forget what it’s called because they have a good few, but I know one similar is LEGO mindstorms.
Yessssss it is
Lego is the Best thing to build.

It's called a German keyboard
@@elgmoes thanks for the information!
@@elgmoes French is qwertz too
ElgMoes lmao😂
yeah sure we get that but why the hell did you notice that
To be fair the best cube solver Felix is very impressive. Also, a human cube has to go in blind before it's revealed, dissect it and then solve it and then drop the cube. The day a robot can do that as well, I'd be impressed.
3:43 That is my speed!!!😂
😂😂
Ur likw 3x faster than me and i dont like it
Your time is better than mine my average is 45 seconds
I thought it's 5:00
That's fast
4:33 so we're not gonna talk about how smooth that hand is ?
Pfffff i can solve a 1x1 rubiks cube less than a second
I can solve a 0 x 0 I. -1.034 seconds
nice vid i knew the robots would take over the world soon
I like that self-solving cube :)
The narrator misspeaks at 1:46..."solving the cube in .09 seconds." It's actually 0.9 seconds.
Yes I pointed that out to him in his pinned comment.
Fastest has been 0.35 tbh
Cuz there flawed.
People need to find a legitimate reason for existence
In rubiks videos, we talk like cubers
7:37 ‘Roobux cube’
Your pronunciation is really good. Awesome Rubik's cube solvers.
Frankly, Dactyl is the most impressive to me. The others are more about the optimization of the algorithm, which is fun but straightforward in how it is done. After that, it's just the machine vision to set the initial parameters and the servos to implement the solving.
I used to make the robots Dactyl uses (the video is slightly misleading, the robot is made by Shadow in the UK, OpenAI do the... AI). Was a pretty fun job, and lovely people, mildly regret leaving. But London is a bit of a nightmare these days, too much of the rat-race life.
Yep, came for Dactyl in the thumbnail, and not disappointed.
Let's take a minute and appreciate the amazing amount of modern technology and engineering that has gone into solving a child's toy puzzle.
"After 23 years and $300,000 dollars..I finally built the fastest Rubik's Cube beating machine!" the guy said.
And to think I'd have to go to a casino to watch an idiot throw money away.
The Dactyl !!! Impressive (and a little scary-cool)
Very interesting, amazing and worthwhile video.
Excellent video You have collected nice information But men who solved the cube with in 4 to 5 seconds are greater than these machines
That’s crazy that the human wr was almost as fast as the first robot’s time
This was really neat...thanks!
The floating cube is actually solving using CFOP... Nice
0:44 : wow this cube looks new! 0:47 : looks like a 2 year old cube!
That self solving cube is faster than me
Smart Hungarian invention! Thx Mr. Ernő Rubik
amazing content I loved it
The next episode of watching random stuff during quarantine
Man imagine how stressful a Rubik's cube that unsolves after u have only 1 more part to rotate
Ah, life's work is complete. You can retire knowing you have served mankind to it's fullest. Congrat's!!!
Really amazing dude
he mentioned the gan robot being perfect for comp but the gan i (the only cube it can use) isnt comp legal because of the mechanics inside
yeah but it can show a step by stepp pattern to scramble the cube according to predetermined difficulty scramble level
I believe it was mentioning perfect for comp scrambling. We all know how many records that have been placed by miscrambles....
I like the part when it breaks the cube :)
Just imagine how proud Erno Rubik is. A lot of people have already invested not just precious time but also resources in "playing" his invented toy.😄
I like the floating/solving its self Rubik's cube
Shoudn't those mechanical solvers be divided to at least two types. Those who grabbed - turn - realease, and those who managing turns by revolving center elements?
I love the japanase version, a cube that can resolve itself...
hi
u can buy it now.. :p
Jesus.....robots really are taking over!
Teacher: you have one minute left to hand in your test Me: 1:14
I can imagine myself getting irritated and smashing this cube into pieces... lol
I was most impressed with the record holding robot, but the most interesting is the hand robot, i think.
Maarten van Helden dude it literally uses ps3 cameras
The self solving one would be awesome if... the motors were strong enough to flip it in the air, and solve it before it landed. Now THAT would be something.
@@winsomehax wow, that would be awesome! I guess they'd need to use another solving algorithm as well though (should be easy enough to implement)... Using f2l is great for humans, but extremely inefficient for a machine.
@@winsomehax dude, where do you think you're going, I dont think that's possible with those tiny servos and processor
I think that they are all the best, for their own uniqueness... 😎👍
Of course, they ALL have lovely bottoms.
I can put to rest all the years of frustration trying to solve the cube. It can solve itself now!
Fantástico!
thank you
What I would be interested in is whether there is a robot for the much heavier 4x4 cube.
The self solving was cool.
1:34 OMG It's a DaYan, damn, i miss dayan, i hope they will come out with an insanely good 3x3 soon

1:46 ".09 seconds"?
Having a robot “solve” a rubics cube is like having Google win a pub quiz.
Remarkable. I had no idea.
The robotic hand was the most impressive for me, astonishing dexterity and speed ! (BTW : 4:58 I see Boston Dynamics have followers :-)
3:36
2:32 like under a frigging second this is insane
great love the hands
What is a programming language? 1:53
It doesn't matter really. Don't be hyped because of a language.
No need for that all you need is an alien for example feliks zemdegs,he came from the planet of cuboria
I love how the first one is made out of legos lol. Thanks
The self-solving cube is using cfop. Nice
as time goes on, you get better and faster at finishing all your homework right when the teacher walks in and then you went to a higher grade with harder work
:) !!! Lol doing homework in class was bad ideal !!! Kinda like you don't HAVE ANY PLANS AT ALL !!!
The first clip of Dackyl is me trying to do one handed solves lol
all ingenious!
I wonder if you could get an optimization on some of these robots by taking the CV part out of the equation, instead, using simpler sensors (IR?, perhaps a grid of them) which send/receive less data and are easier to process (cutting down latency and any some caused by the software). In fact the program could be simple enough to put onto an FPGA. In addition you could perhaps calculate how long it takes for the cube to rotate a certain side (predefined?), switch to computing something else and occupy the thread the original computation was on with something else, then switch back when hardware interrupt from the motor's encoder tells you that the rotation is complete (maybe some other cool physical tricks outside of the pure mathematical algorithm as well?).
I wish I understood what you meant.
Does the time to solve start before the computer reads the cube layout in the beginning?
4:33 Can it.......can it do other things?...
LOL
This makes me mad. I bought my first rubics cube when they first came out. And i still cannot solve it.
it's really not that hard, basically. just look it up! if you have a hard time memorizing sequences of moves, look into the Roux method. if you want to figure it out by yourself, learn group theory, I guess.
Can you build a robot?
@@DadCMusic lol. No
Look up how to weekly he has a beginners method for it
Look up j perm
2:18 I love that the used a guanlong lol
Now that self solving rubik's cube is unique and super interesting and actually something that I would want and show off. Unlike some .gif NFT that can be copied with a right click.............
yep i be the prick that puts another red sticker on from 2nd cube just to throw of the robots
when my small brother solved it in 39 seconds...i was shocked
Yeah, my younger brother, who was otherwise a lazy dunce, theif, drug user, and abuser, could solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute. Go figure. Everyone has a special talent 😀
It’s easy though
@@bigbosspanda1976 not everyone can do it easily I thought it was impossible until I learned it
Amazing!
Interesting video. Many thanks.
7:37 lol the robot complexified the solving
Yeah because it can't move the top layer

lemon cuber it’s a joke amongst cubers that gan is the apple of cubing. they make pretty good products, hype them up to be better than they actually are, and then charge wayyyy too much for them
You said "point zero nine seconds" which is 9/100 of a second. I have a feeling you meant zero point nine seconds.
Levitating self-solving cube is something !! =)

Gan has made a v2 of the robot that is much faster
Everyone's a gangsta..untill the real MITian walks in
Oh my!!!!wonderfulllllllllll......
thank you sir
lol, why did the self-solving cube even use f2l? hahahaha it could have easily used a recursive algorithm or even just the same algorithms as the other robots, that would make it solve faster too
It'z quite a bit easier to implement
NatMath what!? no wayy, implementing all the f2l cases is in no way easier than just backtracking the scramble using recursion (which can be solved in 20 moves or less using this method). im saying this, based on the assumption that the robot knows the full state of the cube in the beginning (it has to, to even solve the cross in cfop)
@@gamedevprod6276 I'm using my experience but writing the f2l cases takes longer but is much easier math wise than using the group reductions methods. Those algorithms don't just invert the scramble they navigate through the cube group, generally with A* and implementing these methods can be hard if you don't have previous experience or math knowledge, while I was able to create a CFOP based solverat 15yo
NatMath but you dont have to use A*, and there is literally no math at all, just write a recursive function that goes through all possible moves, namely U D R L F B and the anti-clockwise of all of that. we know that cubes can be solved in less than 20 moves so just return when we reach 20 moves or when cube is the same state as original scramble. for each depth of recursion, just check the cube state if it is same as the scramble. and the machine will do the rest, checking for all combination of moves to reach a solved state
NatMath ohh, i think i understand what you thinkin. what im trynna say is start from a solved cube and try to reach the scramble using recursion, then just reverse all the moves we get. what you trynna say is, start from scrambled cube and try to find most optimal solution using A* and all the math stuff. both works i guess, just depends on what we wanna implement and how we wanna implement it
I can solve one rubicik cube in 35 sec
