A deep reinforcement learning algorithm can solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle in a fraction of a second. The work is a step toward making AI systems that can think, reason, plan and make decisions. Since ...

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. Researchers at the ...

As a preteen, Max Park couldn't unscrew the cap of a water bottle, let alone try to tackle a Rubik's cube. He lacked the fine motor skills, a symptom of his autism. Now, at 21, Max can solve a Rubik's ...

In 2010, a group of mathematicians used a bank of supercomputers at Google to show any Rubik's Cube could be solved in 20 moves.

If you thought solving a Rubik’s cube was difficult, you were right and maths can back you up. A recent study shows that the question of whether a scrambled Rubik’s cube of any size can be solved in a ...

The Rubik's cube is a toy that pretty much everyone is familiar with, but it also has become a proving ground for researchers in fields as diverse as artificial intelligence, operations, and search ...

How fast can you solve a Rubik's Cube? Now, do that with one hand or while blindfolded. That's the skill level that hundreds of teens at a Rubik's Cube championship in Toronto exhibited as they raced ...

One of the most mind-boggling toys that many of us have grown up trying to solve is the Rubik’s cube — a simple-looking mechanical puzzle, made from small square pieces called ‘cubies’. It consists of ...

Rubik's Cube has just got to keep twisting and turning. With the 40 enduring years of rise and fall in the toy industry, with the unfailing devotion to agonize its patrons and problem solvers along ...

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm which can solve a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second, according to a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The system, known as ...
