Nope.  The sequence is:

1.  All feet down.
2.  Lift one foot group
3.  Sweep legs
4.  put feet down
5.  Lift other foot group

So it does not need to walk forward to lift the feet.

I keep thinking about a rotary type walker, where the feet more or less go in a
circle and the body is always moving forward.  Please forgive me.  :)

So, when it lifts one leg group, and someone switches it into reverse, will it
put those legs back down, right away, and lift the other leg group?

Nope.  It will force the legs to the correct position for walking backwards, and
then drop the feet.
