Robot sets record by solving Rubik's cube in .103 seconds
- A Purdue University undergraduate team set a new Guinness World Record by solving a Rubik's Cube in 0.103 seconds with their robot, Purdubik's Cube.
- The team built on a background of fast-solving robotics, surpassing the previous Mitsubishi Electric record of 0.305 seconds set in Japan in May 2024.
- A team of four Purdue students collaborated to develop Purdubik’s Cube, which they presented for the first time at the university’s SPARK design competition in December 2024.
- Matthew Patrohay explained that the team aims to reduce their robot’s reaction time to below 100 milliseconds, striving to claim an even faster performance than their current achievement.
- This record illustrates advances in robotics control and coordination, signaling Purdue’s growing capability in engineering, with implications for the future of fast, precise automated systems.

Guinness Record: Designed the Fastest Robot to Solve the Rubik Cube
The machine solves the complex 3x3x3 three-dimensional puzzle in just 0.103 seconds. To date, the record belonged to a Japanese company with a machine that solved the magic cube in 0.305 seconds.
College students create robot that breaks record for solving Rubik’s cube — smashing prior record held by $80B auto maker
The Purdue students' robot, nicknamed the Purdubik’s cube, solved the puzzle in an almost incomprehensibly fast .103 milliseconds. The prior record belonged to Mitsubishi engineers whose robot solved it in .305 seconds.
INSANE Video Shows A Rubik's Cube-Solving Robot That Completed Its Task In 1 Second!
Purdue students demolished the Guinness World Record for the fastest Rubik’s cube-solving robot, solving the puzzle cube in just 0.103 seconds, faster than the blink of an eye. The previous record was set by Mitsubishi Electric engineers in 2024 in Japan with a speed of 0.305 seconds. The team says they can probably go even faster, but the cube is the holdup, considering it will "disintegrate" if they go faster. They say they had to reconstruct …
Purdue Students Hold Guinness World Record With Puzzle-Solving Robot
World Record Breaking Purdubik’s Cube by Purdue Elmore Family School of ECE WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Engineering students at Purdue University recently broke the Guinness World Record for “Fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube.” A team of undergrad students in Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering were able to solve a rubik’s cube in a blistering 0.103 seconds, using their high-speed robotic system known as…
