...As described in experiment 5 of the Supplementary Information, the evaluated behaviour descriptors characterize the following: (1) time each leg is in contact with the ground (‘Duty factor’); (2) orientation of the robot frame (‘Orientation’); (3) instantaneous velocity of the robot (‘Displacement’); (4) energy expended by the robot in walking (‘Energy (Total)’, ‘Energy (Relative)’); (5) deviation from a straight line (‘Deviation’); (6) ground reaction force on each leg (‘GRF (Total)’, ‘GRF (Relative)’); (7) the angle of each leg when it touches the ground (‘Lower-leg angle (Pitch)’, ‘Lower-leg angle (Roll)’, ‘Lowerleg angle (Yaw)’); and (8) a random selection without replacement from subcomponents of all the available behaviour descriptors (1)–(7) (‘Random’)....
