AI algorithm, named DeepCubeA, has solved a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second without having any specific knowledge of the domain or in-game coaching from humans.

Few things reveal the limits of someone’s problem-solving skills faster than a Rubik’s Cube, the multicolored, three-dimensional puzzle that has befuddled so many since the 1970s. Though the cube has ...

They’re known as "speedcubers," young people who can solve the puzzles presented by the colourful cubes in just a few short seconds. Alisa Siegel takes us to a Toronto competition where teens race to ...

Some of the fastest Rubik’s cube solvers in the world have gotten down to a five second solve — which is quite an incredible feat for a human — but how about one second? Well, [Jay Flatland ...

The cameras scan the cube, feed that information into a Rubik's cube-solving algorithm called Kociemba, and the algorithm tells the robotic motors a sequence of moves that will quickly solve the cube.

The fastest time the CubeStormer II Rubik’s cube solving robot has been able to muster is an astonishing 5.270 seconds from start to finish.

A deep reinforcement learning algorithm can solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle in a fraction of a second. The work is a step toward making AI systems that can think, reason, plan and make decisions. Since ...
