Legged robots and methods for controlling legged robots are disclosed. In some examples, a mobile robot includes a frame, legs, and a control system. The mobile robot includes, for each leg, a motor coupled to the frame, the motor comprising a motor arm and a spring attachment point, the motor being configured to rotate the motor arm and the spring attachment point. The mobile robot includes, for each leg, a spring coupled to the spring attachment point of the motor and the leg, wherein the leg includes a track shaped to receive the motor arm, and wherein the leg is coupled to the spring such that the motor arm is within the track. The control system is configured, e.g., by virtue of appropriate programming, to control the motors to cause the mobile robot to move.
