I’m currently building a robot which solves a Rubik’s Cube. I use an Android phone to scan the cube and I want to solve it in Android too. Is there a library which can solve a Rubik’s Cube?
Thanks in advance

There is a VB 6.0 source code on this page: http://www.dutchthewiz.com/vb/games/
Porting the algorithm to Java will not be that difficult.
The problem comes in what type of cube you are doing? 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 etc. Each of those will use the same algorithm to switch corners and edge pieces, however the trickier part will come with the center blocks.
http://www.wrongway.org/cube/solve.html is a good site to go to, you might be able to talk to the author about his algorithms.
http://www.swinburne.edu.au/ict/videos/media/Rubiks_cube_robot_480X270.html is another interesting site.
Don’t be afraid to talk to people who have developed these ideas and solutions. They are sometimes willing to help you design yours.
