Read this before you comment! This is the new
version of RuBot by Pete Redmond from Dublin,
Ireland. It's very different to the
prototype but it has to be the coolest
looking robot solver ever. There are cameras
in the eyes of the head that scan the cube
before the pneumatic arms solve it. It
usually solves the Cube in about 35 seconds
(not including the scan) no matter how much
it is mixed up.
The solving algorithm is taken care of by
Herbert Kociemba's Cube Explorer software and
usually solves the cube in a maximum of about
20 moves. In this video, the cube wasn't
mixed up too hard so RuBot was able to find
the optimum solution.
Thanks to all of those who think it is too
good to be true. That is a real compliment!
If you still don't believe it, Look at the
other RuBot videos - they have better
scrambles. Or better still, call in on one
of RuBot's live demonstrations. By the way,
that's my daughter in the clip with RuBot. Tags :robotRubik'scube

When I brought home a Roboquad robot the
other day and started playing with it, our
resident guardian K9 was none too pleased. I
decided to put Roboquad in "autonomous" mode,
set his aggression level to high, and let the
battle unfold.

Note: The robot is acting fully on its own, I
was not controlling it in any way. Tags :robotroboquadwowweecomedyhumordogpuppymarionesnintendogamefight
