Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a computer vision system that identifies and tracks gym exercises.

The distant scientific objective of 3D printed human organs has now grown a little bit closer, with researchers at Carnegie Mellon University reporting a breakthrough that enabled the printing of full-scale heart components that in some cases functioned similarly to the real thing.

NASA has awarded Carnegie Mellon University and Astrobotic a US$5.6 million contract to build a new suitcase-sized robotic lunar rover that could land on the Moon as soon as 2021. The 24-lb MoonRanger rover is designed to operate autonomously on week-long missions within 0.6 mi of its lander.

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has announced that it plans to send the first American unmanned rover to the Moon in July 2021. The miniature four-wheeled robot will ride aboard the Peregrine lander along with 14 other scientific payloads and will carry a miniature art gallery on its journey.

The US Department of Defense has awarded contracts worth a total of US$7.2 million to develop an autonomous trauma care system called TRACIR that uses robotics, and artificial intelligence to autonomously treat battlefield casualties almost immediately.

​Currently, if you're trying to digitally track someone's movements, a depth-sensing camera such as the Microsoft Kinect is one of the best ways to go. Researchers are developing a potentially better system, however, which involves attaching cheap sensors to the person's clothing.

Deepfake. It's a word that's entered the modern lexicon for all the wrong reasons. The technique can superimpose the likeness of one person onto a video of someone else. Now, new research could take deepfakes to the next level, taking the detailed content of one video and applying it to another.

​Scientists from Carnegie Mellon University have done something interesting to plain ol' paper. They've coated it with patterns of a conductive thermoplastic, which causes the paper to bend, fold or flatten in response to an electrical current.

​​So much of focus from researchers in lithium battery circles rests centers on the electrodes. Among them are scientists at Carnegie Mellon University, who have come up with a new way of 3D printing latticed electrodes they say result in an "unprecedented improvement."​

​​A rocky planet with Earth-like temperatures just 11 light years away from us caused quite a stir when it was discovered last year. Scientists continuing to poke around this pocket of the universe are continuing to unravel its mysteries, with new findings shedding further light on its composition.​

Researchers have developed a self-healing material that could help machines repair themselves – even after “extreme mechanical damage.” Not only does the material make physical repairs, but in doing so it can restore severed electrical connections.

To try to add a bit more physical feedback to VR, Disney Research has unveiled a prototype wearable device it calls the “Force Jacket,” which uses a set of inflatable bags to simulate pressure and force in time with visuals.
