A robot which is able to solve a Rubik's Cube is going on display at Abertay University Open Day.

The Lego Mindstorms robot is part of the Ethical Hacking lab, and is able to solve a Rubik's cube in just two minutes.

The robot scans each square of the cube and using artificial intelligence is able to solve the puzzle.

It will be shown as part of an open day for prospective students.

A chilling demonstration, 'Death: The Quick, The Slow and The Painful,' will see potential students turn forensic detective, working on cases of poisoning, electrocution, drowning and stabbing.

Family members can watch the action unfold through the thick glass walls of the labs as University experts lead the investigation.

In the state-of-the-art sports labs, a series of student-led practical sport demonstrations will take place, delving into the science behind performance enhancing techniques used by athletes which were recently covered by the BBC's "How to Stay Young" series .

For the business contingent, a game of high-level risk and reward is in store, with attendees challenged to build a portfolio of stocks currently trading in real markets through shrewd buying and selling.

Meanwhile, in the Abertay courtroom, visitors will become judge and jury as Law students act out a fierce legal debate and academics explain the action.

In addition to the live demonstrations there will be campus, accommodation and library tours, a parents' welcome, individual information sessions on each course, information on finance and an UCAS applications and Q&A sessions about entry requirements.
