We love a good Rubik’s Cube solver and the mechanical engineering on this one is both elegant and functional. This is the first time we remember hearing about the FAC system, which is a standard set ...

As part of their diploma thesis at the HTBLA Saalfelden, David Haidenhofer, Markus Kreutzer and Paul Kreuzer designed a machine to solve a scrambled Rubik’s Cube. In just 385 ms, the well-known puzzle ...

A machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without human assistance, according to a group of UC Irvine researchers. Two algorithms developed by the researchers, collectively called Deep Cube, ...

Over the years, we have featured a number of Rubik cube-solving machines. However, none have been created using the FAC building system, which was developed back in the early 1950s by Swedish artist ...

Hardware hackers Ben Katz and Jared Di Carlo have smashed the previous record for solving the Rubik’s cube robotically. Their machine solved the puzzle in 0.38 seconds—a 40-percent improvement over ...

Solving Rubik’s Cubes is a learnable skill. However, to compete at the top level, you’ll have to train hard. Speed cubers can solve a 3×3 cube in under ten seconds these days, after all. [aaedmusa] ...
