The robot Cubestormer 3 made with Lego pieces solve the Rubik's cubes in seconds. Although what really stands out in the video below are the faces that children put on, during the recent Lego exhibition held in Copenhagen a few days ago, when they see the Cubestormer 3 in action. And it is that the combination of the latest technology of robots, the logic applied to solve the puzzle, Lego Mindstorm technology and the camera mounted on a mobile phone equipped with Android are combined in an incredible way to solve the cube.
I have some Rubik's cube stored at home and I still remember the combinations that had to be applied to solve the cube according to a series of very simple steps. I'm talking about the 80s when my age was similar to what my daughter was today. After so many years what I have been seeing, in places like Microsiervos, is how young people solve the cubes in seconds and now the robots also solve them at full speed by moving their mechanisms according to the camera's vision and the position of the cube. .
You can say that this robot is the player, non-human, faster to solve Rubik's cube worldwide. So we encourage all young people with extensive programming knowledge who are encouraged to solve the cube. In Microsiervos they tell us that the robot solves the cube in 3.60 seconds while humans do it in 5.66 seconds and unless the combination allows it to be less than five seconds is practically impossible.
The procedure or routine that the robot follows is to take pictures of the faces of the cube with the Samsung Galaxy smartphone, send the information via Bluetooth to the control center, calculate the possible solution and move the robotic arms and so on until the final resolution.
A awesome programming exercise, of adaptation of the Lego pieces, of use of accessible technology for everyone and especially taking advantage of the possibilities offered by the Rubik's cube that since the 80's has been a revitalizer to help us think, memorize, practice and now also To program robots.
