The state transition diagram for a single foot’s in-place steps. Pvert is heel height. Vvert is the heel’s vertical velocity. The current per-foot gait state (Grounded, Ascending, or Descending) is maintained unless an exit criterion is fulfilled. The dashed transition handles possible input errors: It is not a part of steady-state operation.
