Producing non-steady-state gaits (starting, stopping, and turning) in a biologically realistic quadrupedal simulation by William Irvin Sellers, Charlotte Francesca Cross, Akira Fukuhara, Akio Ishiguro, Eishi Hirasaki

“…Understanding these more complex gaits is essential, particularly in fields such as paleoanthropology where the transition from an ancestral hominoid with a diversified repertoire to a bipedal hominin is of such fundamental importance, and this approach illustrates one possible avenue for further research in this area.…”
