RHex is a robotic hexapod with springy legs and just six actuated degrees of freedom. This work presents the development of a pronking gait for RHex, extending its efficiency and speed by exploiting its springy legs for hopping. A simple physical model of pronking is presented and verified qualitatively in simulation and experiment. In the course of analysing and attempting to stabilize pronking, the author develops an inertial attitude estimation system for RHex built around a three axis fibre-optic gyroscope. The author also validates a simple current estimation model for RHex's motors, which is then used to detect leg touchdown during pronking
