Forget Solving The Rubik's Cube, This Robot Can Do It In One Second

Little cutie on NCIS that plays an Israeli special agent on loan to NCIS and she does have a funny difficulty with American slang at times.

Kind of like "Lisa" on the '60s sitcom Green Acres?

They should just need one working camera.

All they have to do is rotate the cube before they begin so that the one camera can see all the faces.

So how much ‘pre-analysis’ time is this robot being given before starting the solve?

That may be how they are beating the earlier machine times by so much time.

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

I used to just pop mine apart and put it back together to "solve" it.

I never could get it. I even look at solutions sites today and just don't see the solution in my head. I can follow the instructions, but I can't see it. It's weird, because I'm usually pretty good at puzzles like that.

[biff]

Oh yes. That was a funny show.

Since the cube was made for humans to solve, the robot has an unfair advantage; It can be in contact with all six sides simultaneously.

To me, this isn't really all that impressive.

The thing that always gets about stories like this. They forget that humans program the robots. They don’t spring to life off the 3D printer.
