RuBot II: Robot that Solves Rubik’s Cubes in under 50 Seconds

Sun, Oct 15, 2006

Robotics






This badass-looking robot is known as RuBot II, a robot that can solve any Rubik’s Cube in under 50 seconds. It speaks in a rather gentlemanly manner. And upon placing a Rubik’s Cube on its tray, it picks it up, scans the cube with its camera-fitted eyes, and goes on to solving it in blazing speed.



If there is going to be a RuBot III, I would love to see it look more “friendly” and not like it’s going to fry the kid with a laser beam any minute.

    the sound effects you will find is the start of “Short Circuit” intro, when you see the parts being put together for the title screen…

    Dang. I was waiting for it to try to solve li’l Timmy’s head.

    “PLEASE PLACE YOUR MEAT SACK OF A NERVE CENTER NEAR TRAY.”
    “What?”
    “It will improve our youtube rating.”
    “Okay sure!
    …

    AAAAHHHHH-”
    “NEXT TIME MESS IT UP RIGHT YOU LITTLE BASTARD.”
    .

    Now THAT would earn a million views.

    Woah .. that thing looks like the freakin’ terminator or something .. poor kid almost died like 12 times.

    I was half-expecting the robot to go “please stand back” before solving the puzzle.

    lol fake. that thing obviously just records what the kid is doing with his hands and reverses it. either that or the kid uses the same scrambling method every time.

    joking aside: the robot needs to be more friendly-looking! this way he looks like the korean border robots ought to.

    I agree that it is fake… The kid looked like he was scrambling the cube with memorized moves (and only a few). I remember fooling people that I could solve a rubik’s cube VERY quickly a long time ago by knowing the 40 or 50 steps that I had used to scramble it. BTW… i did learn, from a book, how to solve it later. It would still take about a minute and a half moving 10 times faster than that machine.
