Mr Katz suggested the machine could be refined but described the process as "time consuming". Two US researchers have created a robot that can solve a Rubik's cube in 0.38 seconds, potentially setting a new record. Jared Di Carlo 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 team built the robot, called the "speed cube", using off-the-shelf components from an Arduino microcontroller board.
