We describe a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) control method for the posture (body height, pitch and roll angle), body position (x, y), and yaw angle of a six-legged robot. First, we describe our posture control method using an impedance model while considering actuator dynamics, after which we describe a walking directional control method that utilizes the torque of rotating links and reaction forces of thigh and shank links as control inputs. The effectiveness of our proposed control method is then examined through simulations using a three-dimensional (3D) model of the robot during straight walking.
