A recent video of the “Worlds Fastest Lego Robot” devouring randomized Rubik’s Cube puzzles, in a fraction of the time it would take most humans to complete the devilish contraptions, has captured the imaginations of large numbers of Japanese:
The robot is of course described as being built entirely from Lego elements:
Whether or not the Rubik’s Cubes are truly as randomized as suggested aside, it truly does appear to be an impressive work of robotics…

I wish my lego robot could solve rubik's cubes like that. Mine just rearranges the stickers.
I wish I had a Lego...
I wish I had one million Lego.
i wish i has a rubik's cube
And so I pray...
Unlimited lego works !
Limited lego works...
and spray I do!
I wish I had a Leg....

hehe, and I've got this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsY64ekW2HE
I want a building instruction for this one.
I am the bone of my lego.
Plastic is my body, and cubes are my blood.
I have solved over a thousand cubes.
Unknown to death, nor known to life.
I have withstood pain to solve many puzzles.
Yet, these hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray.
Unlimited Lego Works.
Seriously, I haven't touched lego in years, and when I see them again, I find out that they have become a genius rubic solving machine.
The threat to humanity is not Skynet! It's Lego!
TNinja..... That is pure genius....
Well if we ever hear of Fate/Stay:Lego....
yay someone is using lego for the plural of lego.
I hate it when people say something like, "I made this out of legos!" then I question their intelligence.
Unlimited Lego Works XDDDDDDD
Give your son a set of playmobil and a set of Lego.
He takes the Lego:
Congratulations your son might bring it to something in his life
He takes the playmobil:
Is your son mental handicaped.
Not? I got some bad news for you.
He went to his sisters room playing teaparty with her dolls:
I got some bad news for you.
I suddenly thought of Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles... o.O
And Judgment Day advances to the next stage... =D
Terminator made from lego ? now that interesting
They really are unstoppable, blow one apart and they'll just piece themselves back together.
Reminds me of the Large Hadron Collider.
Reminds me of the Large Hardon Collider.
I've got my LHC right here.
Where's your God now?
honestly does it not remind you guys of that giant ring thing in the 1997 movie "Contact"?
I'd link a screenshot but for the life of me i can't find a decent picture of the thing. but i swear it looks close D:
So you're saying, while we're seeing the cube solved in 10 seconds, the machine actually took 18 hours??
Just buy Lego Rubik's Cube Robot from them. Can't be that expensive :/
Ha, I built a coin sorting machine with mine.
Really? I always wished my LEGO robots would shoot lasers and rockets.You sir are modest.
Really? I always wished my LEGO robots would become human-sized, leave my room, and go off to work in the world of Real Estate.
BUT CAN IT SOLVE 4x4x4 cubes??
A 3x3 cube at any given time can have (3x3x3)!/24 combinations. A 4x4 cube on the other hand has (4x4x4)!/24 configurations. The difference is 64x63...x28x27/24. And that's only combination per step, combinations in series would be much greater. Again, this is more conservative estimation using a brute force method. But it does show the level of complexity goes up by a lot when you increase the number of elements in a set.
Guess the software writer is pretty good at solving them as well by now ;)
yeah, a program's only as smart as it's programmer
i'm kind of curious how he did it, looking at it just as it is, recursion would be the ideal way to go but thinking about the speed i can't help but be curious what he used if not that :3
It's a linear set of steps.
Nah, you guys have been misinformed.
Solving the cube is way algorithmic and the methods are easily learned. Anyone who can solve a cube at all can do it under 2 minutes. Anyone can lower their time to about 50 seconds with a little practice.
Past that, it's knowing when to apply advanced algorithms (easy for a machine), cube awareness (being able to keep track which piece is where; a machine can easily remember, and can have multiple sets of "eyes"), and last but not least, dexterity, where the machine easily trumps the human.
In reality, solving a cube requires little or no thought (unless it's your first time and you have no guide).
Yeah, solving a Rubik's cube is just memorizing algorithms. Not as hard as it's been made out to be.
Nothing like math to solve rubik and build robots....
Cool :) I can solve Rubik's Cube only in about one minute so far. I really should learn the Fridrich method.
Seems real to me. There's a camera in use, the robot took in all six faces before starting, and it's been proven that there's an easily memorizable sequence to solving Rubik's cubes. Easily possible for a robot.
Now wait till somebody gives this robot a cube with seven stickers of the same colour. It'll become self-aware, realize the true purpose of its existence, and transform itself into a loli android.
......
we can only hope
3x3 is 9 so every cube will always have 7 stickers of a same colour, don't you mean 10?
Let me know when it can play chess, land an army on a hostile beach in a typical wargame, and solve cold fusion.
Until then it's no more clever than any typical blender. I mean I can't puree faster than a blender as well, doesn't make it 'capable' though.
Robots can't think on their own, they can only make what they are thought. Chess maybe (actually it's pretty easy), wargames (more complex but still probable), cold fusion (we can't, so it can't) and other thing, it's obvious you know dick about robotics and how much complex it could be.
Well, there are computers to do the first two things there... and a computer will likely solve the third.
So... what amazing things have you done?
Stick the head of a member of Equality Now into the robot.
Now laugh as you watch the action.
True purpose of robot recognized
Actually what I like about it is the design and movement of the robot. Seems pretty smooth..
I suddenly thought of what it would be like if this became a Transformer
"Love & support Michelle Dobson" How cute^^
We're programming these lego mindstorm robots at school, we also had a project to present on the open day of our upper classes at school. Quite easy to program these, but for this you need more than one NXT.
