Helping Hand OpenAI, the artificial intelligence development company co-founded by Elon Musk, just released software that lets an AI-powered robot hand that solve a Rubik's cube by itself.

The researchers deployed ADR with a cube-scrambling technique that applied around 20 moves to a solved Rubik’s cube to scramble it, in accordance with official World Cube Association guidelines.

Using machine-learning and robotics to solve a Rubik’s cube has been achieved before. Notably, in March 2018, a machine developed by engineers at MIT managed to solve a cube in just 0.38 seconds.

The deal here isn't so much that it was able to solve the Rubik's cube, but that it did the task with a new level of dexterity. The robot arm was able to solve the '80s puzzle game with a single hand.

And it’s why the lab wanted the world to see a demo of its robotic hand solving a Rubik’s Cube. On Tuesday, the lab released a 50-page research paper describing the science of the project.

To learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube one-handed, OpenAI did not explicitly program Dactyl to solve the toy; free software on the internet can do that for you.

Jimmy Liu, from Tennessee, managed to solve a Rubik's Cube in his left hand while playing the Nintendo Mii channel theme tune with his other hand, in impressive footage from July 17.

2. Research Much like traditional models might have a specific modeling type or might wear several different hats, hand models can range from being super-niche to taking on a diversity of roles ...
