If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."

However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …

Little Robotic Leg Investigates Enormous Dinosaur Locomotion

I don't know about you, but I haven't seen any dinosaurs lately. I mean, I've seen lots of birds, some lizards, and the occasional crocodile, but none of those massive Jurassic Park-style dinos. For paleontologists who want to know how a 60- to 70-ton dinosaur got around, this lack of subjects to study is a bit of an obstacle. At Drexel University, researchers are 3D printing small scale robotic models of the legs of one of the largest dinosaurs ever found to figure out how it was able to keep itself moving. Fossils of Dreadnoughtus schrani were discovered in Argentina in 2005.
