Overview

  • Purdubik’s Cube, a robotic system built by Purdue University students, solved a Rubik’s Cube in 0.103 seconds, setting a new Guinness World Record.
  • The previous record of 0.305 seconds was held by Mitsubishi Electric engineers in Japan since May 2024.
  • The robot integrates advanced machine vision, custom algorithms, and industrial-grade motion hardware for sub-millisecond precision.
  • The project was first unveiled at Purdue’s SPARK design competition in December 2024, where it won first place before undergoing further refinements.
  • A Bluetooth-enabled Smart Cube allows users to scramble the puzzle in real time, showcasing the robot’s capabilities in interactive demonstrations.
