Former Polie (10x; IceCube) - I also noticed this there. I wouldn't trust it 100%, but it was pretty reliable.

I expect that if you knew that the cameras were watching, you could trick their AI's pretty easily (e.g., by faking a limp), but I'd prefer to confirm that before relying on it :-).

Detecting an unnatural gait is probably a fairly easy AI task, unfortunately.

Kind of reminds me of Dunes "Walk without rhythm so you don't attract the worm"

Reminds me of Dune before Butler's Jihad.

Maybe. I think it's possible to develop a couple of different gaits, though it requires a lot of self-control to restrict specific gaits to specific situations.
