Blink and you'll miss it: This robot solves a Rubik's Cube in 0.38 seconds

Whether it's beating us at games like the board game Go or stealing our jobs, the killer combination of artificial intelligence and robots are owning us puny humans left and right. The latest example of a high-tech achievement that will make you feel on the verge of extinction? A robot that's capable of completing a Rubik's Cube puzzle in just 0.38 seconds flat -- which includes image capture and computation time, along with physically moving the cube. Not only is that significantly faster than the human world record of 4.59 seconds, but it's also a big improvement on the official robot world record of 0.637 seconds, as set in late 2016. The 0.38-second achievement isn't yet an official record, but if it manages to achieve the same results under record-testing conditions it certainly will be.
