"Rubik’s Cube solving has been a long-standing challenging benchmark for robotic manipulation. The task requires fine-grained control under the geometric and kinematic constraints imposed by the cube itself. Prior state-of-the-art is still the single-handed solver from OpenAI’ in 2019. For the first time, we can solve a Rubik's Cube using two hands together, powered by GENE."


For those of you who cannot see the video for some reason, it shows a robot with two, well, robotic hands solving the cube.
It takes 1mn so no need to fear for the moment. But we're all doomed 😬😁
 
Watching the robot slowly solve the cube is cursed. It so delicately handles the cube, rotates the cube every other move, and uses the weirdest fingertricks (like moving a non-U layer with only 1 finger)

Also is it just me or is the scramble faked? If I counted correctly it was 9 moves away from being solved

Still impressive nonetheless

proper finger tricks too

“why didn’t it do l’ D for the last two turns????!?!?!?” - the hyper-critical part of me
