A team of Purdue University students have built a robot that can solve a Rubik's cube in a record-breaking .103 seconds. To put it in context and help understand how fast it works, a human blink takes about 200 to 300 milliseconds. The previous record was set at .305 seconds -- or 305 milliseconds -- in 2024 by a robot built by the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation's Component Production Engineering Center. The robot was built by Matthew Patrohay, Junpei Ota, Aden Hurd and Alex Berta, students at Purdue's Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in West Lafayette, Ind.
