Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has been awarded a Guinness World Record title 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 beaten by TokuFastbot’s time of 0.305 seconds.
The Mitsubishi Electric project 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. 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 company’s products.
The TokuFastbot can perform a 90° rotation time of 0.009 seconds thanks to the rotation mechanism built by Mitsubishi Electric’s compact, high-power, signal-responsive servomotors and a color-recognition algorithm developed with proprietary AI technology. The high-speed signal connection and inter-device control are achieved using servo motors as well as a PLC, industrial PC, touch panel display and cameras.
