A robot that can solve a Rubik’s cube puzzle in 0.38 seconds has been developed by two researchers in the US.
The current world record is 0.637 seconds, which was set by German engineer Albert Beer and his robot Sub1 Reloaded.
The researchers realised they could solve the cube more quickly by using a different type of motor in their robot.
They suggested the contraption could be tweaked to go faster but said they had “lost interest” in tuning the device. Continue reading at BBC News
 A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verificationSponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process. |
