Fastest robot to solve a Rubik’s cube ever, after it deciphered the famously difficult puzzle in just 0.887 seconds - breaking Incredible footage has proved a machine created by engineer Albert Beer (Germany) is the newever, after it deciphered the famously difficult puzzle in just 0.887 seconds - breaking the previous record-breaking robot’s time of 0.9 by a fraction.

The official Guinness World Records title attempt took place at the Cubikon Store, in Munich, Germany last month.

Beer’s robot is named Sub1 and uses two webcams which capture the arrangement of all six sides of the cube. (These were shuttered before the timing started for the record attempt.)

The robot then uses Tomas Rokicki's extremely fast implementation of Herbert Kociemba's Two-Phase Algorithm to determine the fastest way to unravel the cube.





An Arduino-compatible microcontroller board orchestrated the 20 moves of six high performance steppers, which rapidly turned each side of the cube.



The cube met all WCA (World Cube Association) standards.
