RuBot - Rubik's Cube Soving Robot Protot...

This is a video demo of the first prototype of RuBot. This is a Rubik's cube solving robot from Dublin, Ireland. You can just about make out the web cam on the left of the video. It really works and can solve the cube usually in about 20 moves and can take 15 minutes so just to make the video short, I didn't mix the cube too hard for this solve and omitted the scan sequence. The website is now defunct; I might put another one on if there is enough comments. I have just started the second prototype which will be pneumatically controlled rather than servos.

not a bad little gizmo.

for all those that think that it is hard to solve a rubik's cube i can tell you that it's not. i learnt how to solve it (thank you interweb) and all you need to do is follow a procedure to solve it. the people that are impressive at solving it though are those that do it in less than a minute. now they're just plain freaks :D

It works, thats all you need to know but just how mutch of solving is done by the operator is left out =D

i would prefer to see the whole thing, if theres really some scanning process, cause otherwise it could just be programmed to do those 4 turns, and then the cube might be just messed with until it gets the needed look to be solved in those 4 turns, and that would make a pretty big difference in how impressive this actually is

Obviously your robot was given a solved cube and you made it mix it up a little and then play it backward.

maybe next time you should leave out the backward sound track

we're not that stupid

Well now the back and forth rambling has really become productive.
I think it's pretty ingenious to come up with the ladder logic programming for something like this, and it can only lead to more complex forms of semi-artificial intelligence. It's a great start, because complex analysis and reaction by robotics have until recently been left to the 'larger' efforts (i.e. Honda, MIT, IBM, etc). Well done with your machine.

Yea I see you guy `s take these little snippets of video far to seriously,so why dont you both go get room together and fuck until you are happy. Video`s good in principle,good to know that Eire is world famous for more than,the colour Green,Celtic Fc,dancing,comedy,Guiness & about 1.000.000.000 other things of general interest.

Such a bull crap. I know how to solve the puzzle and the machine didn't demonstrate any standard operations. Cube was presolved.

Good to know that all you flamers are keeping the rest of us ignorant people clued in, because I thought it was very cool. Regardless of what was done or how it was achieved, I'd ike to see all of you who are "dogging" this robot come up with something better... or even come up with something PERIOD!
