In summary, the Rubik's cube that solves itself is a complex machine that utilizes algorithms and artificial intelligence to scan and solve a Rubik's cube. It was inspired by the desire to push the boundaries of engineering and can solve a mixed up cube in under a minute. It is designed to solve any standard Rubik's cube and may potentially be available for consumers in the future.

It's pretty nice but like Drakkith said, too bad it couldn't help solve a linear algebra assignment.
 

1. What is a lazy engineer?

A lazy engineer is someone who looks for ways to make their work easier and more efficient. They may use shortcuts or creative solutions to achieve their goals without putting in excessive effort.
