This article introduces an innovative model-based strategy for designing a legged robot to generate animal-like running dynamics with differentiated leg braking and thrusting force patterns. Linear springs were utilized as legs, but instead of having one end of each spring connected directly to the hip joint, one extra bar was added to offset the spring's direction. The robot's front and hind legs...
