Mitsubishi Electric Corporation proudly announces its latest achievement, recognized by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™, as the fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube. The record-breaking feat was accomplished utilizing a robot equipped with advanced factory automation (FA) technology and precise control mechanisms. Clocking in at an impressive 0.305 seconds, the robot surpassed the previous record of 0.38 seconds. The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS certificate was awarded to Mitsubishi Electric on May 21, marking a significant milestone in robotics innovation.
The groundbreaking robot, dubbed TOKUI Fast Accurate Synchronized motion Testing Robot (TOKUFASTbot) by its creators, showcases remarkable capabilities. Its unique rotation mechanism enables a rapid 90º rotation time of just 0.009 seconds. This remarkable feat is made possible by leveraging Mitsubishi Electric’s compact, high-power servomotors, which boast exceptional responsiveness to signals. Additionally, the robot incorporates a sophisticated color-recognition algorithm developed using proprietary AI technology, further enhancing its efficiency.
Key components such as servomotors, programmable controllers, industrial PCs, touch panel displays, and cameras are meticulously integrated to facilitate seamless signal connection and inter-device control. This meticulous design ensures optimal performance and precision, enabling the robot to achieve unparalleled speed and accuracy in solving puzzle cubes.
Mitsubishi Electric’s groundbreaking achievement underscores its commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotics technology. By harnessing cutting-edge FA equipment and control technology, the company continues to spearhead advancements in automation, paving the way for innovative solutions across various industries.
The record-breaking performance of the TOKUFASTbot not only highlights Mitsubishi Electric’s engineering prowess but also reinforces its position as a leader in the field of robotics.
