A deep reinforcement learning algorithm programmed by University of California computer scientists and mathematicians -- can solve the Rubik’s Cube in a fraction of a second ...

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 ...

The authors also discussed their research in a paper published last June, which described a machine that could solve a Rubik's Cube without algorithms created by human beings.

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.

Robots that can solve Rubik's Cubes faster than any human could are nothing particularly new. Over years, a string of "World's Fastest" record-holders have just been whittling down the time.

Want to solve a Rubik’s Cube? Then you have to know the numbers. Here’s the amazing math behind the legendary toy, and how to use it to solve the puzzle.
