A robot built out of Lego can solve a Rubik’s Cube in about 3.2 seconds, but some 40 years after I first picked up the iconic puzzle, I’ve yet to solve it on my own. I assumed that successfully ...

The Rubik’s Cube has only six faces, each presenting only nine cubelets, but the end result is to offer a mind-boggling number of permutations, only one of which embodies the desired solution. The ...

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm which can solve a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second, according to a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The system, known as ...

When we used to tackle that cube decked with square stickers, one of a few things happened. Some people had natural talent, some had the patience to learn the proper algorithms through trial and error ...

In brief: We've seen machines used to solve Rubik's Cubes in the past, and while this example certainly isn't the quickest, the way it floats in mid-air makes it the coolest looking. The project is ...

There are a number of very impressive examples of how artificial intelligence can accomplish things that humans simply can’t, but nothing is cooler than seeing AI married to robotics. OpenAI, the ...

Hungarian inventor Erno Rubik's famous puzzle cube has been around for 44 years now, but never like this. The GoCube is a Bluetooth-connected Rubik's Cube dripping with sensors that teaches you how to ...

Why it matters: Solving a puzzle box is not the only problem autodidactic iteration can solve. The deep-learning algorithms used in Deep Cube can be applied in other fields that require complex ...

Unlike the original Rubik’s Cube, which is content to live on your shelf until you need a brain exercise or go on a road trip ...

Ernő Rubik, who turns 80 on July 13, finished the prototype of his "Magic Cube" 50 years ago. Fifty years ago, as he sat in his mother’s apartment in Budapest, Hungary, young professor, Ernő Rubik, ...
