Cube Prime

Well for cubstormer uses the phone to scan the cube and during the scanning it times it including the solve.

That's what I mean, I would love to see how fast cubestormer could solve using WCA inspection.

ok I get it now maybe David Gallday will try that.

machines cant truely think on their own without commands plus we have more connections in our brains than the internet has all together. I single person still have yet to master how to use over 13% of thier mind capabilities.

Wow, this post is just full of false statements and bad logic. I don't even know where to begin.

To fix that statement there working on robots that can think and gain info without Human interaction.

No current robot is considered smarter than man YET. Sure, there are robots now that can do things by themselves but without us programming them, building them, they wouldn't exist. Yes some scientists are afraid they will become smarter in the next 50 years, but right now, we are their gods and when a robot can invent things on their own just like Bill Gates built Windows, then Ill be afraid

Robot solve sub 1 (supposedly)

So yeah, I stumbled across this video;

I suppose that's an UWR? The machine looks like it could reproduce a solve that fast with other scrambles. There weren't many that many moves in the solve so maybe the software that did the solution "got lucky". Anyway pretty nice TPS (assuming that this is indeed real)!


Something's fishy, the description for starters. Whoring for views.

Brest? jk that just felt like the right thing to say :3 Looks fake to me, like the scramble was purposely easy. Also no timer was show during the solve so the video may very well have been sped up. I could be wrong though. Just my opinion.

 

[ThomasJE]

I do believe this is legit. There was a thread about this some time ago; I'll see if I can find it.

Brest?

Oh wow. Strange I saw this only now. Can be closed I suppose.

All it needs is some giant laser beams, missiles, motorized wheels and some awesome AI to do a official WCA solve.

This is pretty awesome. I think I do prefer something like CubeStormer because it corresponds more to our notion of a solve (e.g. "competition-legal"), but Cube Prime has some seriously fast and accurate turning. I hope the creators are aware that there are solvers that can be adapted to get close to 20 moves in a few milliseconds, because a self-contained robot of this speed would be awesome. :-D

Anyone care to add it to the list of cubing robots?

Super impressed by the machinery of the robot. Funny how the robot used a solution that was your generated scramble in reverse.
Also super impressed by the deftness of the reconstruction, Brest.

 

[Renslay]

That's because they used the same program to determine the optimal (or at least a short) solution / scramble. So it makes sense.

And Brest, you earned your title as Super Reconstructor.

Yes, long before this video . Just to clarify: In the video description he says "2x video speed so it's not totally boring". And Brest, did the scramble help or did you ignore it during reconstruction?

Solve was R2 D2 B U' D2 R2 F2 U2 B L D R2 L' D2 R' L' F2 L U2 (19f)

I'm not sure the solve is what was shown on the screen with cube explorer. The video is edited and he uses cube explorer in a way I didn't know it could be used. They keep pressing the green "play button" and cube explorer keeps spitting out shorter and shorter algs. You put in this scramble it will spit out a 21 htm solve, press play it will give you a 20, press play again it will find the 19htm move shown, press it again it will give you an 18htm solve. Press play again it will chug away forever I;m not sure if it returns a shorter solve.

I think it's very likely they they cut a lot of that out of the video -not due to dishonesty but due to wanting to have a short video.

I trust Brest's work that it was 18 moves more that I trust an alg flashed on the screen during the video. I think they "pressed play" at least one more time not shown on the video.
