NXT Rubik's Cube Solver

Daniele Benedettelli made a robot that can solve the Rubik’s Cube automatically. Awesome and amazing project of Daniele Benedettelli!



In this video you can see the fully automated NXT Rubik Solver acquiring, analyzing and mechanically solving a 6-moves-shuffled cube in just 1'45".


How does it work?
The robot uses 3 motors:
- to push the cube aside
- to hold the upper layers
- to turn the bottom face

Also it uses:
- touch sensor as pusher arm limit switch
- touch sensor as holder ar limit switch
- light sensor to find turntable zero position
- webcam to scan cube faces

The robot is given a cube and:
- scan all six faces, sending data to PC
- the PC software finds the optimal solution and sends the actions sequence back to robot
- the robot physically solves the cube
