In this paper, we proposed three methods to solve color recognition of Rubik's cube, which includes one offline method and two online methods. Scatter balance \& extreme learning machine (SB-ELM), a offline method, is proposed to illustrate the efficiency of training based method. We also point out the conception of color drifting which indicates offline methods are always ineffectiveness and can not work well in continuous change circumstance. By contrast, dynamic weight label propagation is proposed for labeling blocks color by known center blocks color of Rubik's cube. Furthermore, weak label hierarchic propagation, another online method, is also proposed for unknown all color information but only utilizes weak label of center block in color recognition. We finally design a Rubik's cube robot and construct a dataset to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our online methods and to indicate the ineffectiveness of offline method by color drifting in our dataset.

Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a new single hidden layer feedback neural network. The weights of the input layer and the biases of neurons in hidden layer are randomly generated, the weights of the output layer can be analytically determined. ELM has been achieved good results for a large number of classification tasks. In this paper, a new extreme learning machine called rough extreme learning machine (RELM) was proposed. RELM uses rough set to divide data into upper approximation set and lower approximation set, and the two approximation sets are utilized to train upper approximation neurons and lower approximation neurons. In addition, an attribute reduction is executed in this algorithm to remove redundant attributes. The experimental results showed, comparing with the comparison algorithms, RELM can get a better accuracy and repeatability in most cases, RELM can not only maintain the advantages of fast speed, but also effectively cope with the classification task for high-dimensional data.
