Many years ago at an Apple WWDC event I saw a presenter give a talk about how they used genetic algorithms to find out what the most optimal walk for a dinosaur could be based on its bones and skeletal structure.
I wonder if such an optimal gait could also be discovered for humans, perhaps for different heights, and when carrying different loads. Maybe the best way of walking for a person who is very tall is different from someone who is very short for instance. By constructing random human bodies and allowing them to evolve over millions of iterations, we may be able to discover unrealized walking techniques.
