i’d like to see the algorithm for that

[Maceman]

Yeah, but what good is such robot if you can’t even have sex with it?

[ShadowAce]

[bolobaby]

Puny humans!

[deadrock]

Try Droiagra.

The world record for a human to solve the Rubik's Cube is 4.904 seconds, while the machine
record is 3.253 seconds. A robot, however, is looking to smash those times as it can solve the
puzzle in just over a second.

It would be a piece of cake. The cube has a distinct pattern to solve it. The only difference is the size of the cube (how many individual squares). Memorize the patterns and solving is a piece of cake.

I like the solution where they use to sell sheets of color stickers to “solve” the cube. ;-)

I’m guessing they can’t move the middle post position with the pre-drilled holes on all 6 sides either. That probably helps to further simplify the loving process significantly by removing the number of moves it would take.

It would be a piece of cake.

And coordinating the computer programming with the robotic mechanisms that handle the Cube?

Not difficult for someone who knows what they're doing.

From the article:
The cameras scan the Rubik’s Cube to begin analyzing the puzzle through the Kociemba solving algorithm...

But you can, if you don’t mind it being over in 2.3 seconds.

[Sicon]

When that thing becomes self-aware, we’re screwed...

[JPII Be Not Afraid]

My son can solve the 3 x 3 in 2 minutes and the 2 x 2 in 18 seconds.

[biff]

Or as little Ziva would say, ‘a piece of pie’.

[BenLurkin]

Just don’t get in between those robotic arms or you’ll be diddled to death.

[ETL]

Lol!... whoever “little Ziva” is.(?)

For the record, I didn’t say it would be a “piece of cake” to develop the program. DouglasKC did.
