Mitsubishi Electric sets new record with TokuFastbot

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube, Automation World reported.

The TokuFastbot robot achieved a time of 0.305 seconds, demonstrating the capability of Mitsubishi Electric's advanced components, such as high-tech motors and power semiconductors, to perform high-speed, precise movements. This level of precision and speed in motors is crucial for industrial machinery, where increased productivity and efficiency are paramount.

The robot’s ability to perform a 90° rotation in just 0.009 seconds is powered by Mitsubishi Electric's compact, high-power, signal-responsive servomotors, alongside AI-based color-recognition algorithms.

This technology highlights the importance of inter-device communication and control systems in achieving such performance, with the use of servo motors, a PLC and other control elements. The integration of these components showcases the potential for automation in high-speed applications.
