This project is a high-speed robotic system capable of solving a Rubik’s Cube in just 0.103 seconds, making it the world record holder for the fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube as of the upload date. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-robot-to-solve-a-rubiks-cube

It demonstrates the extremes of synchronized, high-acceleration motion and precisely coordinated multi-axis control. The system integrates high-speed machine vision for color recognition, an advanced solving algorithm optimized for minimal execution time (rob-twophase on GitHub), and industrial automation hardware for precise and synchronized high-speed motion control. All build details are currently being organized and will be attached here once complete.

We gratefully acknowledge the following sponsors whose support was essential to the success of this project.

Kollmorgen: Motion Systems Sponsor – Supplied industry-leading motion systems solutions including Servo Motors (AKM2G), Drivers (AKD2G), and Programmable Controller Multi-axis Master (PCMM2G). This hardware was essential to achieve this level of coordinated high-acceleration motion control. https://www.kollmorgen.com/en-us

Kron Technologies: High-Speed Camera Sponsor – Provided the Chronos 4K12 high-speed camera, which proved essential for debugging motion systems. https://www.krontech.ca/

SpeedCubeShop: Puzzle Retail Sponsor — Provided the

Ready? Yep. Soft. Soft. Soft. Soft. So guys, it’s going to be good, dude. How much time was it? Uh, I don’t know yet. What do you mean you don’t know? Okay. 103. Are you serious? Yeah. Oh.

  1. I've been optimizing some JavaScript recently, using a timer to compare how many milliseconds it takes to run. But to optimize code and the physical machinery so it only takes ~100ms is wildly satisfying.

  2. The movements looks exactly how my movements would be if I did a pre set moves of scrambling. Meaning with more time it will get faster since you can shorten it even more. I mean even in normal human slow speeds you can solve this while hilding your breathe in under 3 minutes which I my self can hold my breathe for 5 minutes.
