New Record! Robot Solves Rubik's Cube in Less Than a Second

Solving a Rubik's Cube is an impressive feat by itself, but now, a robot can do it in record time, cracking the 3D puzzle about 10 times faster than the human who holds the world record. German technology company Infineon staged the record attempt at the Electronica trade fair in Munich this week, as a way to highlight its self-driving-car technology. "It takes tremendous computing power to solve such a highly complex puzzle with a machine," Infineon said in a statement.
