"That algorithm helps robots to quickly contort their bodies to create the maximum number of contact points to spread the force of the fall" - http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~sha9/projects ... index.html

wonder if they used the Atmega processor to do these calculations or they had an additional processor

Interesting method. I do wonder how much this could be improved by "softening" the fall, ex, decelerate servos on impact...
