Last year, NASA awarded a contract to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and its spinoff Astrobotic to build an autonomous Moon rover as a technology demonstrator and water prospector. The rover has now completed its preliminary design review.

In order to see and then grasp objects, robots typically utilize depth-sensing cameras. And while such cameras may be thwarted by transparent or shiny objects, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a work-around.

When a regular material is torn or ruptured, it stays that way unless we tend to it with our hands or a machine to repair the damage. But a new self-healing conductive polymer needs no such help, and can regain full functionality after being severed.

Keeping a journal of what and when you eat is one of the standard ways of tracking your diet. That said, it's a rather inexact method, which is why scientists are creating an eyeglasses-based system that may do the job more accurately.
-
Ordinarily, if you want to create a lifelike 3D digital model of someone's face, a 3D scanner and/or multiple cameras are required. Now, however, scientists from Carnegie Mellon University have created a system that lets a smartphone do the job.

Once inside a burning building, smoke may prevent first responders from being able to see where they're going. The Haptic Helmet from Carnegie Mellon University's Engineering department could help.
-
Increasingly often, when mass shootings occur, bystanders are recording videos on their smartphones. Thanks to a new system, such footage could soon be used to determine the killer's whereabouts.
-
Being a college lecturer – or at least, being a good one – involves more than just speaking at a podium. You also have to engage the students, and a new dual-camera system is designed to assess just how well instructors are doing so.
-
Although camera drones can already automatically circle or follow a subject, they don't know what sort of shots actually "look good" artistically. That could be about to change, as a new system turns drones into self-directed aerial cinematographers.
-
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are working on a smart space habitat for deep space missions that's monitored by artificial intelligence.
-
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.
