Our Report (in progress)

Project Description

This summer and fall we are collaborating to build a Rubik's cube solving robot. Participants are exploring algorithms for solving Rubik's cubes, designing robotic mechanisms for twisting and rotating the cube, programming the computer to upload and interpret camera images of the current Rubik's cube color configuration, developing a data structure that can be updated as moves are performed on the cube, and showing an image of the cube as it is being solved. Check out our report above to follow our progress.
