Gait Transition

Switching smoothly between different locomotion gaits (e.g., walk to trot, trot to gallop) in response to speed commands or terrain changes. Gait transitions must avoid discontinuities in joint trajectories and contact forces. RL-trained locomotion policies learn gait-emergence behavior — naturally transitioning between gaits based on speed without explicit gait selection logic.
