Undergraduate students from Purdue University developed a robot, the Purdubik's Cube, which set a world record by solving a Rubik's Cube in just 0.103 milliseconds, far surpassing the previous record of 0.305 seconds held by Mitsubishi. This achievement highlights the team's engineering skill and innovation in robotics. The robot was first showcased during a university competition and has since been refined to achieve its record-breaking speed. Despite its success, the students noted challenges with the physical cubes themselves, which can break during solving, limiting further speed improvements.
To put it in perspective, the human blink is 200 to 300 milliseconds. So we're significantly faster than that. Human reaction time is about .200 milliseconds as well so we're faster than that.
Basically, we're a world record holder for the fastest machine solving Rubik's cube. We currently have a time of .103 milliseconds. We can very reliably solve under the current record of .305 milliseconds.
The cubes themselves just disintegrate. The pieces themselves snap in half and fall apart.
