Quadrupeds moving in a gallop use their inside fore limb as a leading limb while turning. In addition, the ”lead change” is the transition between the footfall sequences of the right and left leads, and it occurs when the direction of movement is changed. In this study, we created a platform for physical simulation as a first step for a synthetic understanding of such adaptive behavior. As a result, when the fore leg trajectory changes with no feedback, the direction was changed to the side with the leading foot.
