Running

Dynamic legged locomotion with a flight phase, where all feet leave the ground simultaneously. Running is characterized by higher speed, lower duty cycle, and higher peak ground reaction forces than walking. Bipedal running is particularly challenging due to the small support base and high impact forces at landing. RL-trained policies can learn robust running on complex terrain.
