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
