Robot 'sets new Rubik's Cube record' - BBC News

A robot has just set a new record for the fastest-solved Rubik's Cube, according to its makers. The Sub1 Reloaded robot took just 0.637 seconds to analyse the toy and make 21 moves, so that each of the cube's sides showed a single colour. That beats a previous record of 0.887 seconds, which was achieved by an earlier version of the same machine using a different processor. Infineon provided its chip to highlight advancements in self-driving car tech. But one expert has questioned the point of the stunt.
