Viability leads to the emergence of gait transitions in learning agile quadrupedal locomotion on challenging terrains

Abstract Quadruped animals are capable of seamless transitions between different gaits. While energy efficiency appears to be one of the reasons for changing gaits, other determinant factors likely play a role too, including terrain properties. In this article, we propose that viability, i.e., the a...
