Few things reveal the limits of someone’s problem-solving skills faster than a Rubik’s Cube, the multicolored, three-dimensional puzzle that has befuddled so many since the 1970s. Though the ...

OpenAI, a non-profit co-founded by Elon Musk, recently unveiled its newest trick: A robot hand that can ‘solve’ Rubik’s Cube. Whether this is a feat of science or mere prestidigitation is a ...

Scramble a Rubik’s cube, and you will create one of 43 quintillion possible arrangements of those 54 colorful square stickers. But that part—the messing it up part—is easy. Solving it, as ...

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.

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 Rubik’s Cube looks like a simple kids’ toy, but anyone who’s tried to line up the block’s colors knows how challenging it is. For experts, the current record is about three and a half ...

Many different strategies, or algorithms, exist for solving the cube. It took its inventor, Erno Rubik, an entire month to devise the first of these algorithms.

The Rubik's cube is back and bigger than ever. Why is it still so hard for me to solve?
