There have been many robots build to solve rubiks cubes - often also simple methods using lego mindstorms and so on. The interesting part here was, that the robot uses a nice arm-sidearm enviroment, and precomputes lots of things like a very good solving pattern and missing cube-parts. So to me the most interesting part is the code, not the robot it's self. I'll give it 3* for worth watching.

Actually, it would not be faster with neural network. The algorithm used was propably near optimal (an optimal solution is usually 16-17 moves). Most of the time spent was by the robot itself. Solving with neural network would probably slower.

the first computers were the size of a room and took hours to perform maths calculations, but it developed it what we have today, which is desktop computers that can do things in seconds a human couldnt do in a lifetime. This robot maybe slow now but the more we develop the technology the better it will be. You have to start somewhere

you wont say that when this technology reaches the level where it can do you're washing up, clean your car, save your life in surgery, hoover you carpet etc.
