4 students "conjure" robots to solve Rubik's cube faster than the blink of an eye

You know, the Rubik's Cube - the multi-colored cube that has been puzzling our brains for decades? However, now this multi-colored, confusing cube has been solved in a new record time. Photo: @Getty.

Matthew Patrohay, Junpei Ota, Aden Hurd and Alex Berta, students at the Elmore School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, met through a co-op program at the school, and together they designed a Rubik's Cube-solving robot, which they named "Purdubik's Cube."

And recently, this robot broke the world record for the shortest time to solve a Rubik's Cube. The Purdubik's Cube robot solved the puzzle in an almost incomprehensible 103 milliseconds (0.103 seconds). Photo: @Purdue University.

“A human blink takes about 200 to 300 milliseconds,” student Matthew Patrohay said in a post on Purdue University’s website. “So by the time people realize the Rubik’s Cube is moving, the robot has already solved it.” Photo: @Purdue University.

The previous record belonged to engineers at the Mitsubishi Corporation's Parts Manufacturing Engineering Center, whose robot solved the Rubik's Cube puzzle in 305 milliseconds (0.305 seconds). Photo: @Purdue University.

In one video , a visitor can be seen holding a glowing green button, which is connected to a Purdubik's Cube robotic system that holds a Rubik's Cube and shuffles the colors. When the person presses the button, there is a short beep, and then the Rubik's Cube puzzle is solved. Photo: @Purdue University.

It can be seen that the entire operation of this robot only takes place in less than a blink of an eye, so fast that viewers almost don't have time to see anything. Photo: @Purdue University.

The robot, located on the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, uses machine vision technology for color recognition, a custom-optimized algorithm for real-time processing, and industrial-grade motion control hardware, according to a Purdue University press release.
