  • If you actually watch carefully you will see that the WHOLE cube can be rotated. So you can achieve all 3 axes needed to solve the cube. Also look up cubestormer II, the current world record holder.

  • Either way if the bot did it completely or not, who the hell builds a machine to solve a damn rubiks cube?

  • the man uses multiple axises to scramble the cube ..the bot uses 2

  • Feliks Zambdegs is better tha this robot

  • The robot clearly recorded his movements and repeated them in reverse.

  • Is the source code of the program available?

  • @MrLernedman Ummm. You just has to remove one grasper and spin the whole cube, and you get a different axis for the other grasper to manipulate. It's clearly doing that too. Just look at the color of the center cube facing the camera. It changes often (IE, the whole cube's orientation is changing).

  • i like the part when the cube is on the screen!!!!

  • FAKE ! 90 % Sold before placed on bot for final algorithm cycle, cube only rotates on 2 axes which is not possible to solve the cube and in freeze frame you can see center squares are lined up to each side of the cube making an + shape. this idiot is not randomly mixing the cube but solving it 90% of the way before he placed it on the bot to complete !. they should get the record removed its a BIG CON !!!!!!!

  • i just hope that now i am somehow one step closer to owning a lightsaber,,,,

  • Could I point out that this isn't the world record- Lego and a smartphone have done better

    see "cubestormer II"

  • Fabulous!

  • stop bashing peeps!

    really!

    most of the ones saying shit obviously have no idea about robots, rubiks cubes, or the mechanics behind either one

    its all sound

    so shut up!

  • And the point of this...?

  • SWINBURNE UNI FULL OF PATHETIC STUDENT THAT CANT EVEN GET EMPLOYED. DID YOU KNOW SWINBURNE SUCCESS RATE IS ONLY 50% AND OVER 40%+ OF STUDENT FAIL.

  • @lernedman

    ...You didn't get accepted, did you?

  • furthermore the machine did not even rotate the cube in order to complete the complete algorithm start to finish.

    it not very impressive to just program a robotic machine to do 2 rotation types in a sequence of 8 7 or 8 sequences.

    pretty weak learning curve for uni students to try fake Rubik cube solver !

  • @lernedman All rubiks cube solvers only need 2 axis of rotation to solve a cube. It did rotate the cube several times, just because the camera vantage point is on one side doesn't mean that the entire cube hasn't spun. I've seen this in person and it can consistently solve cubes in 8-11 seconds regardless of how scrambled - having some sides matched up means nothing, as the bottleneck is the speed of the robotics, not the logic to solve the cube, any cube can be solved in 21 moves or less. Geez

  • why does Swinburne need to try and con people for false publicity.

    The robotics machine did not solve the cube in 10 seconds as it was already over 90% solved before it was placed into the machine, it can be easily seen that 3 base side were complete and center color were matched on each side of the cube.

  • @lernedman for starters I take it you can't even solve a rubik's cube or you wouldn't be quite as ignorant, secondly 90% solved would require 2-3 moves to solve when considering the maximum 21 moves, and thirdly whilst the robot only has two axes for rotation it allows for all three (the only ones available) by removing one claw rotating 90 degrees and re attaching which means the the robot can solve the cube whilst accounting for it's position instead of simply solving from a single reference

  • cubestormer 2 fucks everyone.

  • Ruby is very cool... but have you seen CubeStormer II? :-)

  • tutorial? D:

  • what he really did is have the robot mess it up and then he solve it because when hes walking away from the box he walks backwards and so the video is played backwards

  • @jiljiljip Im wondering. Do you too think that the cube must be at an exact condition for the robot to be able to solve it?

  • It was solving it then dropped it

  • I want that robot

  • faster

  • My reaction = MOTHERFU**** !!

  • ok get ready for skynet

  • Am I the only one who's disappointed?

  • o_O

  • give the robot a guhong so he can solve it faster

  • shit!! the person who programmed this thing is very good! bravo

  • will it blend?

  • Humans are still faster/better than robots.

  • The Robot spying connected to Camera as the Rubik'sCube was disassembled and then assembled it in reverse order! )

  • Is it a big deal? If you think about it - it took about 20 seconds for the student to "undo" the cube. The robot just reversed those moves more quickly.

  • Amazing stuff. Great work.

  • pro...

  • I do am a speed cuber and I always wonder what method do robots use?

    Is it CFOP; Petrus.

    I wanna be anwered by a cuber, not by a noob, so be careful

  • @MRDarkissus - My robots use my own software algorithm which is not really based on any human method and is able to find solutions of around 20 moves very quickly. Most human solutions I believe typically produce solutions of 50 or more moves. I suspect most other robots use a method developed by Herbert Kociemba which is also capable of generating short solutions.

  • Yes. Speedcubers solve the cube in about 50/60 moves.

    You made a awesome job.

    Congratulations

  • @MRDarkissus - I'm not one of the Swinburne team..... :-) but yes, they did an awesome job!

  • soo how this help the mankind?

  • Makes me proud to be a Swinburne student ...

  • wow!!

    It's really amazing...!!

    What a smart Robot you've created!!

    Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity.

    prayloveeternity

  • Fantastic!

  • what is this case made for? can a rubik's cube explode ? lol

  • @pitib0y

    yes a rubiks cube can explode... its just not the type of explosion you're thinking of xD

  • @pitib0y yeah lol wtf? I thought the robot was gonna solve it so fast that the rubiks cube was gonna explode lol

  • @pitib0y It's called pop, it can happen often if You're not careful with a cube. The only truly not popping cube is Dayan's Lunhui.

  • @pitib0y depends if you turn a type a rubiks cube the wrong way then yes

  • @pitib0y

    It's made for cameras, you fool.

  • @pitib0y I'm currently studying Robotics+Mecha Eng. @ Swinburne myself and was talking to some of the members of the group (Dan+David). It's happened often enough to warrant the 'shield' but its also to protect people from the fast moving hands. That and it looks cool.

  • @pitib0y Safety. You really dont want to be near any robot working like this...

  • nice

  • for anyone who'd like to see the stuff ups, broken and flying cubes. I can't link directly but switch the bit after v= with V3c6G5S-Suo or search: Ruby the Rubik's Cube Solving Robot 8.9 second solve + bloopers

  • so this is all going to lead up to developing a portal gun right?

  • @picsmics4 LOL!!!!!

  • @picsmics4 or grav gun

  • meh, this HUMAN beats your robot by almost 4 secs!! watch?v=wIvHw17vuGU

  • Finally, something useful came out of Austr... oh, bollocks.

  • You should let it scan the sides, pause and then start the clock when it starts to solve it. Looks to me like it spent 4 of the 10 seconds looking at the cube.

  • Awesome - very interesting. Thank you for the video.

  • @Gneaper oh...... well this is awkward

  • Incredible! I'm rarely this impressed.

    Detective Jacques Pierre Clouseau Jr!

  • Great. A robot that can solve a Rubik's cube... Hey scientists... How's that cure for cancer coming along??

  • @Dayo988

    If scientists ignored things that didn't have an obvious application, we'd all still be living in caves hitting woolly rhinos with rocks tied to sticks. Science does not advance by being useful, it advances by increasing humanity's understanding of the world.

    Good on yer cobbers - I was impressed.

  • @lotus49a i like that its like a comment of wisdom

  • @Dayo988 i doesn't take a scientist to do this , even u in a few months can learn to do this from scratch , and if you are that worried about cancer why don't u work hard to be a scientists and find a cure !

  • @sageyas maybe not but it would take some scientific know how to make one of these and honestly i dont think id make it as scientist since i failed the class twice haha

  • its run with android??

  • ah urubu!

  • Current world record for a human solving such a puzzle is 6.24 seconds. Still 4 more seconds to bridge. Still, much more impressive than previous Rubiks-solving machines I've seen.

  • @erectinGear The human had as long as he wanted to analyse the cube. The computer did not. I call that beat.

  • @erectinGear - even "CubeStormer"? ;-)

  • If it were a female, I would get laid. :p

  • imagine what you can use it for haha

  • I think a person can solve it faster then this machine.

  • next the teleporter.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey one of these guys is apparently in the band, Sons of Messangers, he's like the bass player or something...

  • Yes, but can it run on a mac.

  • I know nobody said this but I just wanted to clarify, I wasn't trying to be a jerk with my post, I was simply playing devil's advocate. In all honesty, I think the machine is wicked cool either way :)

  • This is a fluke. I can solve a rubik's cube too, and sometimes it ends up solved when you reach the 2nd level. If you notice, the "T" is formed, and then only one or two steps later it is solved. If the fluke didn't happen, the robot would have had to solve the final layer and it would have taken much longer.

  • @EpicTask get fucked.

  • @EpicTask Dude, it solves the Rubik's cube with a mathematical algorithm - that's no fluke.

  • @Abbiesilk Good call bast!

  • @kidsofsquids Got your back, bro. :D

  • Haha it takes the guy longer to mix it all up than for the robot to solve it

  • fake

  • I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

  • Comment removed

  • Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwww!

  • Mentiiiiiira! *_*

  • oha.

  • OMG Took me 10.19 seconds.... I have been beaten by the robobot! :O

  • 0:53 Camwhoring

  • i did it for 10 sec... lol... stupid robot...

  • Reversed....

  • Took the guy longer to unscramble it.......you guys created a monster!!

  • @OMifoot good observation, but if you look when you does the clips his fingers are on the outside pushing in, if it was in reverse he would be taking the Rubik's cube out meaning he will have to have some sort of grip to pull the tongs apart by ether pushing from the inside or pulling with two hands with his index and thumb.

  • only one surface has enough information to solve Rubiks Cube?

  • @Doruruna Maybe there's another camera somewhere or sth (behind an arm or sth like that... I have no idea!)

  • @Enodium @Doruruna at the very beginning it looks at all the sides, if you look carefully you can see it. if they had another camera (or two) it could go even faster I bet.

  • @Radioactivcheese Right! The hands move the cube to show different faces. Thanks!

  • And the democrats and republicans still can't fix the deficit.

  • It'd probably be faster for me to ship my cube to them and have them solve it then ship back to me than for me to solve -.-

  • Sounds like popcorns in microwave oven :D

  • Amazing. And it will inspire young minds toward engineering.

  • 0:08 - 0:30  me gusta

  • This is amazing. Sheer brilliance. Read it in a News paper in India and immediately logged in to u-tube to watch it. Brilliant.

  • Humans are still faster

  • I for one welcome our new robotic rubick's cube solving overlords

  • i find difficult to masturbate to

  • @djmarcos702 i dont

  • This the fuck do we need a robot that will solver rubik cube? What good does this have in our society? How will we use this to improve our lives? You spend all that money and time on something useless, use your genius mind on something productive.

  • @cvunit ummm it's a university student project? their learning how to engineer or whatever class their in and demonstrating it? when they get a job as actual engineers or professors i'm sure they will do something worth a while unlike ur sorry ass that can only bash on others.

  • @Ngjiapi Ohreally, unlike me? Do you know me? I am a medical student at Tufts with one more year to graduate and you think I'm not doing something worth awhile? I have dedicated the last 7 years of my life to this field so I can save lives and help others. I'm not trying to bash them, I just saying they should've used that money and time on something more productive, just because it's a college project doesn't mean they can't make it productive and useful.

  • Comment removed

  • @cvunit lol I'll take that as a compliment.

    We'll all happily admit that making a Rubik's Cube solving robot isn't a terribly worthy goal. We had a set budget and had to spend the time on it for uni so we thought we may as well do something fun.

    Most final year projects end up gathering dust in the engineering building. We're just happy that this one is being taken around to schools and open days to get other kids excited about engineering :-)

  • But WILL IT BLEND ?

  • @kchadha21 I think the motors may give the blender a run for its money. They weigh 1kg each! The grippers should blend nicely though. Perspex should break into lots of tiny bits.

  • Can he use that machine to expose frauds in climate change bullshit?

  • ITS THE RAPTURE!!!!!

  • i thought my speakers were breaking

  • 44 moves hmmm

  • @Jedi5412 It's not so much 40 cube moves but each move can take the robot up to 3 to do depending on the previous position of the cube. Needs to rotate the whole cube to a place where it can manipulate it.

  • Shouldn't the robot get 15 seconds to analyze it?

  • Did the computer scramble it, the human solve it, and the tape get reversed?

  • @OMIfoot You madman!

  • @OMIfoot haha, yep you got us.......

  • @OMIfoot good theory

  • @OMIfoot At the end the robot dropped the rubics cube, so no.

  • @OMIfoot it really looks like...

  • @OMIfoot Sure looks like it, when he is scrambling it.

  • @OMIfoot no look at him walking in, its legit shit

  • @bianchikyle Welcome to what's commonly known as 'a joke'.

  • @D4iph4gZ Thank you for getting it :)

  • @OMIfoot holy shit you saw what they did nice!

  • @OMIfoot nah thats not possible, i thought it too, but if u look closely at the suposed hand-scrambling u'll see the fingers he uses to move each side are pushing, it's not the side that "pushes" the finger (so that's what u would get if u reverse a rubik's cube solving) =)

  • @OMIfoot NO as that would be defying graivity at :51. Because the cube falls down.

  • wow!

  • takes human 20 sec to screw it up......

    takes computer 10 sec to fix it.....nice!

  • fuckin hell... i cant even think in 10 fucking seconds.

  • skills

  • *watching watching* what? finished?

  • What did I just see?

  • Cool! Next step, teach it how to solve cpu power and size equations.

  • woooooow

    

  • I'm proud to be Swinburne student :) thumbs up!!

  • @LouisLeeSJ13 You can barely spell, you're no student, you're a bum!

  • @Ryuuken24 what did he misspell? i didn't see anything wrong with his comment
