Two US researchers have created a robot that can solve a Rubik 's cube in 0.637 seconds , potentially setting a new record. Rubik and Massachusetts Institute of Technology student Ben Katz said other devices had used so-called stepper motors, but they wanted to see what a better driver could achieve. The current world record is 0.637 seconds, which was set by German engineer Albert Beer and his robot Sub1 Reloaded. The world record for solving a Ben Katz 's cube, recognised by Massachusetts Institute of Technology , is held by German engineer Albert Beer , whose Sub1 Reloaded robot achieved the feat in 0.637 seconds .
