In the world of robotics, there’s always something new on the horizon, but Mitsubishi Electric has really turned heads this time. Its robot, TOKUFASTbot, which you might find on a regular day ...

In the quiet before the whir of motion, a cube sits scrambled. Then, in the time it takes to blink—actually, even less—it’s done. Solved. Six uniform faces, each a solid hue. It took just 0.103 ...

Using M-blocks, MIT researchers have created a robotic technology that features cubes with no external moving parts, yet are fully capable of propelling themselves forward, jumping atop one another, ...

As a senior at MIT in 2011, John Romanishin proposed a new approach to modular robotics that relied on magnets, flywheels, and the laws of physics. While his mentors and colleagues were skeptical his ...

A Mitsubishi Electric robot that normally positions wires in motors for appliances like air conditioners has solved the Rubik’s Cube puzzle at a blistering speed, setting a new Guinness World Record ...

In a hi-tech David versus Goliath story, a group of undergraduate students at Purdue University built a robot that crushed the world record for solving a Rubik’s cube once held by Mitsubishi, a ...
