rubik-robot

A low cost, 3D printable Rubik's Cube solving robot. This project was built in about two or three weeks, incuding the hardware design, software, etc. Just printing and assembling it should take about two days, so you can do it in a weekend. The total cost of the project is about 45$, from which 35$ are for the non-printable hardware, and 10$ are the actual printed parts.

Timelapse of the robot in action

Hardware used

  • 3D Printer (BQ Prusa i3 Hephestos)
  • An Android phone (OnePlus One)
  • 4x micro servo (TowerPro MG 995)
  • 4x servo (Tower Pro SG 90)
  • Arduino Nano, breadboard, jumper wires, etc.
  • Bluetooth module (HC-05)
  • M3 screws / nuts

Parts

  • OpenSCAD designs for the printable parts (see scad/).
  • The sketch that runs on the Arduino (see arduino/).
  • An Android application (see android/) that uses the camera and works in cooperation with the Arduino to scan and solve the cube automatically.
  • Standalone utility apps (see utils/) for talking to the Arduino.
