In this article we present a sagittal plane, sprawled posture hexapedal running model with distributed body inertia, massless legs and serial elastic actuation at the hips as well as along the telescoping legs. We show by simulation that simple, periodic, feedforward controlled actuation is sufficient to obtain steady period 1 running gaits at twice the actuation frequency. We observe a nearly linear relation of average running speed and actuation frequency. The ground reaction profiles of the legs show leg specialization as observed in running insects. Interleg phasing has a strong influence on the foot fall sequence and thus the overall body dynamics. While the single leg ground reaction force profiles show little dependency on interleg actuation phase the total reaction force does. Thus, depending on the interleg actuation phase body motions without flight phase are observed as well as body motions and total ground reaction forces that show similarities to those obtained for the spring loaded inverted pendulum model. Further, we show that including leg damping and a ground friction model the periodic orbits have a large region of attraction with respect to the initial conditions. Additionally, the model quickly rejects step up and step down disturbances as well as force impulses. Finally, we briefly discuss the energetics of the hexapedal running model.
