A Mitsubishi robot managed to solve a Rubik’s Cube in a mere 0.305 seconds, setting a new Guinness World Record in the process. Called the TOKUI Fast Accurate Synchronized motion Testing Robot (TOKUFASTbot), it’s capable of performing a 90° rotation in just 0.009 seconds, thanks to its rotation mechanism.
Unlike other robots built specifically for solving Rubik’s Cubes, TOKUFASTbot spends most of its days enhancing motor manufacturing for appliances such as air conditioners and ventilation fans. When puzzle solving time arrives, it activates its high-power, signal-responsive servomotors and a color-recognition algorithm developed with proprietary AI technology.

Since establishing our Component Production Engineering Center in 2016, we have been developing and manufacturing high-tech motors, power semiconductors and related products. To demonstrate our technical capabilities in achieving high-speed, high-precision windings, which are key to increasing the productivity and efficiency of motors used in many of our products, our young engineers voluntarily worked to set the world record,” said Yuji Yoshimura, Senior General Manager, Component Production Engineering Center, Mitsubishi Electric.
