Watch This Robot Solve a Rubik's Cube in 0.1 Seconds -- It's a Guinness World Record
https://scitechdaily.com/watch-this-robot-solve-a-rubiks-cube-in-0-1-seconds-its-a-guinness-world-record/
Four Purdue students turned a class project into a world-record-breaking robot that solves Rubik’s Cubes faster than the blink of an eye, blending friendship, tech mastery, and bold ambition. Credit: SciTechDaily.com
A team of Purdue engineering students built a lightning-fast robot—Purdubik’s Cube—that now holds the Guinness World Record for solving a Rubik’s Cube in just 0.103 seconds.
Fueled by co-op experiences, personal inspiration, and university support, the students combined machine vision, custom algorithms, and industrial hardware to create a robotic system so fast it finishes before you can blink.
Record-Breaking Speed: Redefining Puzzle Solving
For most people, solving a Rubik’s Cube is a brain-teasing challenge. But for a group of engineering students at Purdue University, it became something much bigger—a chance to push the boundaries of speed, precision, and automation, and officially make history.
Their creation is called Purdubik’s Cube, a lightning-fast robotic system that now holds the Guinness World Record for the “Fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube.” It completed the task in just 0.103 seconds. That’s quicker than the blink of an eye, and nearly three times faster than the previous record of 0.305 seconds set by engineers in Japan in 2024.
