From robotic prostheses, to automated gait trainers, rehabilitation robots have one thing in common: they need actuation. The use of compliant actuators is currently growing in importance and has applications in a variety of robotic technologies where accurate trajectory tracking is not required like assistive technology or rehabilitation training. In this chapter, the authors presents the current state-ofthe- art in trans-tibial (TT) prosthetic devices using compliant actuation. After that, a detailed description is given of a new energy efficient below-knee prosthesis, the AMP-Foot 2.0.
