Ruby Robot

From Afternoons, 2:09 pm on 3 June 2011

Some Melbourne students have built a robot which can solve Rubik's Cube in just over 10 seconds - a world record.

Robot Ruby can unscramble the puzzle in 10.69 seconds, far faster than the previous record-holder, the Cubinator, which solved it in just over 18 seconds.

Jim Mora talks with Chris Pilgrim, deputy dean of the Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.
