Robot solves a Rubik's cube in just 0.637 SECONDS, smashing world record

The Rubik's cube was devised by Hungarian architect Erno Rubik more than 30 years ago, but he likely never envisioned his puzzle being cracked this quickly. A robot has this week solved a Rubik's cube in 0.637 seconds, at the Electronica Trade Fair in Munich, Germany. The machine, known as'Sub1 Reloaded' and developed by German tech company Infineon, was aided by one of the world's most powerful microcomputers.

Its time of 0.637 seconds beat the previous world record of 0.887 seconds, set by an earlier prototype of the same machine.
