Reads the state of the cube, gets the solution (Kociemba solver), and solves the cube usually within a minute. In case you'd like to know more about this project, you'll find 3D files, code, and other info at: instructables.com/Rubik-Cube-Solver-Robot-With-Raspberry-Pi-and-Pica
The robot works autonomously, or by sharing some graphical information via SSH (when a PC is connected).
All coded in Python; The same script works either on raspberry Pi or Laptop.
The cube's solver, in Python, is made available by Mr. Kociemba (speedsolving.com/threads/3x3x3-solver-in-python.64887 ); I am very very very grateful to use his solver.
All parts made by 3D printing, except the box made in playwood; Movements carried out by a stepper motor and two servos, a photocell is used to synchronize the rotation position of the cube.
On 2nd February 2022, this project got unexpectedely described on Hackday: hackaday.com/2022/02/02/forget-sudoku-build-yourself-a-minimalist-rubiks-solver-robot
00:20 cube scan & solution at PC (same robot code)
02:08 fully automated robot (same PC code)
03:28 robot development
04:15 cube flipping mechanism
