We develop a simple hexapedal model for the dynamics of insect locomotion in the horizontal plane. Each leg is a linear spring endowed with two inputs, controlling force-free lengt...

The spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) is a simple, passivelyelastic two-degree-of-freedom model for legged locomotion that describes the center-of-mass dynamics of many anima...
— We derive a hybrid feedback control law for the lateral leg spring (LLS) model so that the center of mass of a legged runner follows a curved path in horizontal plane. The cont...
