FPGA-Based Rubik's Cube Solver

  Alex Whiteway, Sungjoon Park and Rameez Qurashi built a great FPGA-Based Rubik’s Cube Solver. The system uses 3 robotic grippers to manipulate the cube, a camera to “see” what state the cube is in at the beginning and an Altera Nios II FPGA computes how to solve the cube. There are lots of algorithms available, the team looks at many of them and decided to roll their own solution. It isn’t
