200. A system comprising:
-
at least two sensors for sensing at least one acceleration of a body or portions thereof, at least one stored energy reservoir, and at least two actuators located on or about one or more parts of the body that actuate as a result of the at least one reservoir releasing a stored energy-medium to at least one actuator respectively; and
at least one processor for determining if one or more consequences of a measured acceleration history are likely to result in an adverse interaction that will impose damage to the body as a result of interaction with at least one of the one or more objects, determining an amount and/or a release rate-vs.-time-program of the stored energy medium to release to each of a set of one or more of the at least two actuators wherein the amounts of stored energy-medium released and which actuators are selected to be within the set are determined according to a model of the body and a model of physical laws that determine a manner in which the body is expected to move relative to the one or more objects, and sending one or more signals to release the stored energy medium based on at least the determining of the amount and/or the release rate-vs.-time-program.
