Abstract(in English) The gait transition during locomotion in legged animals is an attractive phenomenon from the point of view of both robotics and biology. In this paper we will show by means of a mathematical model that the optimal gait pattern is selected in insects according to energetic efficiency, including the energy loss due to the heat emissions of actuators, and that the optimal gait pattern sometimes changes by a phase transition.
