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.

Incase you havent noticed the "rubot" only turned the cube 4 times. The creator could have easily had a solved cubed and changed it 4 times. Considering it took the machine almost a minute to do that its pretty duh duh duh. But it is only a prototype

Its not fake, it just has to be placed a certain way for the robot to solve it.

There are already Rubik's cube solvers online, so it has nothing to do with the brain power of the machine. Basically to make Rubot you just need to have the knowledge of robotics to make the "hands" move. I will only be impressed if the robot scans the cube and solves it.

@ Qwerg
Your a retard, do you really want to sit here for half an hour while the rubot solves a much more mixed up Rubiks cube? This movie is showing proof of principle thats all it needs to do. Im sure you couldn't solve the same cube in less time and in the same amount of moves or less. So please do the world a favor and kill your self. End your life so that it may finally contribute to society by fertilizing the soil because you are obviously not doing any thing better while your alive.

And to the Dumbass above me if you read the description it DOES scan the cube and solve it. He left that part out of the movie because it takes time and didnt want to waste our time by showing it.

whats the point of this, the cube was build so humans could figure it out themselves. would they sell this robot right beside the cube?!! "Buy a cube at full price and get 15% off the robot who solves the cube"!!!

That's pretty sweet. Just imagine how quickly it could do that (over time). They'll catch up to humans. ;D

Its not the robot its the program which is made by man.
Studied the pattern and can do it in 45 secs. (and the cube is messed up. that one was very easy)
