The device, built by engineers Ben Katz and Jared Di Carlo specifically to smash the previous robo world record at completing the cube, did its job in another instance with incredible precision. Their machine solved the puzzle in a mind-boggling time of 0.38 seconds.
The dynamic duo’s device broke the previous record of 0.637 seconds set by Infineon Technologies AG’s Sub1 high performance robot back in November 2016. Comparatively, mere humans take a relative age to solve the cube. In October 2017, Korean wunderkind SeungBeom Cho set a new world record of an incredible 4.59 seconds.
