Abstract—We studied the effect of the control of an active spine versus a fixed spine, on a quadruped robot run-ning in bound gait. Active spine supported actuation led to faster locomotion, with less foot sliding on the ground, and a higher stability to go straight forward. However, we did no observe an improvement of cost of transport of the spine-actuated, faster robot system compared to the rigid spine. I
