Mitsubishi Electric Achieves Guinness World Record for Fastest Robot to Solve a Puzzle Cube
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation recently announced that it had been awarded a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title on May 21, 2024, for the fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube using the TOKUI Fast Accurate Synchronized motion Testing Robot (TOKUFASTbot). The previous record of 0.38 seconds was trumped by TOKUFASTbot’s time of 0.305 seconds. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation reports that a young project team worked to set the world record as a demonstration of the technical capabilities of high-tech motors, power semiconductors, and related products developed and manufactured by its Component Production Engineering Center. Established in 2016, this center has produced technologies that achieve high-speed and high-precision windings that are key to increasing the productivity and efficiency of motors used in many of the products.
