Incredible video shows robot solve Rubik's Cube in just over 1 second
The machine was programmed by Jay Flatland and Paul Rose, who are hoping to break thComputer scientists have engineered what they claim is the world's fastest Rubik's cube solving robot , which can master the puzzle in less than two seconds.
Software engineers Jay Flatland and Paul Rose have built a machine that can solve the riddle using just webcams, a specially building turning platform and a computer algorithm.
They drilled holes into one square on each side of the cube so that it can fit into the custom-designed machine built mainly of parts from a 3D printer .e world record with their creationFour webcams on each side of the cube are used to determine what moves need to be calculated.

And a computer algorithm coded by the brainy pair determines the different moves needed to complete the puzzle.
The duo are currently applying for a world record for their super machine - but there's little doubt they'll flunk it, given the current record for a Rubik's-solving machine is 3.253.In this impressive video, it solves it in 1.196 seconds, 1.152 seconds, 1.047 seconds, and 1.019 seconds.
The current record for a human solving it is 4.904 seconds set by teenager Lucas Etter in the 2015 River Hill Fall competition in Maryland.
