As it might be interesting for anyone reading this newsgroup :

There is a good paper by Hirose and Morishima (Tokyo Institute of Technology):
	
	"The International Journal of Robotics Research"
	Volume 9, Number 2 April 1990
	Special Issue on Legged Locomotion.
	"Design and Control of a Mobile Robot with an Articulated Body"
	pp 99-114.
