Kawasaki robot solves Rubik’s Cube in seconds flat

Posted in Live (December 19, 2007 at 12:21 am)

We’ve seen robots that could solve a Rubik’s Cube in nearly no time, but Kawasaki’s Cube-Kun can pick one up, figure out the solution and sip down some lemonade all in the extended blink of an eye. Reportedly, this brainiac was created with absolutely one goal in life, and judging by eyewitness reports, it succeeds mightily. The fellow rocks a huge flat-panel display as a face and utilizes built-in sensors to determine the current position of each square and how to most quickly solve it. Interestingly, we heard that sabotaging the cube by removing a sticker would send Cube-Kun into fits of uncontrollable rage, but apparently, no one’s been courageous enough to test its patience.
