In human competitions, all hands must start and end on the timer for the score to be valid. Also, the human is limited to one point of view, which can not analyze the entire cube in one glance.
I am not saying this robot isn't impressive. What I'm saying is: lets see the time if the clock is running while the robot operator loads and unloads the cube from the robot. I doubt it competes with the current human world record:
Max Park 3.134 seconds [1]

- zamadatix 2y agoThe second point is a bit moot as humans are allowed to analyze the full cube before the timer starts. E.g. in the Max Park video he already knows all of the moves he's going to perform before he starts the timer. As for loading I think it'd be fun to see how fast the robot could perform the same start conditions. Mostly because of how many cubes would fly apart in testing :p.
- spencerchubb 2y agoEven if a human solver could start/stop with cube in hand, that would only save about 0.3 seconds
- schaefer 2y agoFrom the perspective of the Human, that's true. But what about from the perspective of the Robot. All of a sudden we'd have to start adding multiple axis of control to the robot to be able to pick up the cube from the table. From that point of view the impact is far from trivial.
