The logic of the Rubik’s cube has, after all, been used by software developers to craft encryption schemes for software for decades.

Artificial intelligence, which may at some point automate your job and can already defeat professionals in six-player poker, is now able to solve Rubik's Cube faster than any human.

To wrangle the Rubik’s Cube, however, Dactyl didn’t rely entirely on reinforcement learning. It got help from a more conventional algorithm to determine how to solve the puzzle.

The point is: a robot hand that can do random stuff is a much, much more impressive accomplishment than using an old algorithm to align the colors on a Rubik’s Cube.

An artificial intelligence algorithm is putting humans to shame by solving a Rubik's Cube in just over a second. The algorithm, called DeepCubeA, was created by researchers at University of ...

OpenAI has developed an AI model, trained with a novel method, to effectively "teach" a robotic hand how to solve a Rubik's cube.

He solved a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube in the blazing time of 4.76 seconds — around the same time it takes a Ford Mustang GT350 to accelerate to 60 kilometres an hour.

It is unclear how long the creator was working on the Rubik's Cube project, but a video posted to his YouTube account last year shows a much larger, earlier prototype.

But creating a machine that can solve the Rubik's Cube without algorithms hand-crafted by human beings? That's a completely different task.
