Simple! Incredible video shows robot solving Rubik's cube in just 1.047 SECONDS, smashing the official world record time (also held by a machine)
- Software engineers Jay Flatland and Paul Rose built the Rubik's cube-solving machine
- In a YouTube video the robot unscrambles the cube in just 1.047 seconds
- The Guinness World Record for fastest time to solve a Rubik’s cube is held by a robot that solved the puzzle in 2.39 seconds in November
- Flatland and Rose's machine uses the Kociemba Rubik’s cube solving algorithm to solve the cube
Two men showed off their robot earlier this month that can solve a Rubik's cube in just a little over one second.
Software engineers Jay Flatland and Paul Rose from Kansas, Missouri, uploaded a video to YouTube this month of the super bot successfully unscrambling the cube in just 1.047 seconds.
Flatland said in the video that they are 'in the process right now of applying for an official world record'.

Software engineers Jay Flatland and Paul Rose built the Rubik's cube-solving machine that can solve a cube in just 1.047 seconds
The machine uses uses the Kociemba Rubik’s cube solving algorithm, which determines which moves need to occur for the cube to be solved quickly
Through cameras and motors supported by a 3D-printed frame into drilled holes in, the machine solves the cube
The Guinness World Record for fastest time to solve a Rubik’s cube is held by an Florida student's robot, which solved the puzzle in 2.39 seconds in November.
Flatland and Rose's machine was built by plugging separate motors supported by a 3D-printed frame into drilled holes in a Rubik's Cube.
Four USB webcams hooked up to a computer 'determine the state' of the cube's colors 'very rapidly', Flatland said in the video.
Though Rose and Flatland's machine beats the current Guiness World Record, they have yet to file apply for an official world record
Flatland covers the cameras while he scrambles the the cube before the machine does its work and solves the cube
The information is then fed through an implementation of the Kociemba Rubik’s cube solving algorithm, which determines which moves need to occur for the cube to be solved quickly.
When Flatland scrambles the cube in the video and puts it into the machine, which solves it in 1.047 seconds.
The men's video has been watched on YouTube at least 998,000 times since it was uploaded on January 11.
At the end of the video, the men's machine reaches its fastest solving time, at an amazing 1.407 seconds
