From my dad:

'When an animal sprains its ankle, it starts to limp. And now, a robot with a similar adaptive ability has been created in the laboratory. If one of the robot's legs is shortened, for instance, it works out how to carry on walking by modelling its movements in software.'

That... is simply amazing.
