The requirements of wearable robots such as robotic prostheses and exoskeletons differ considerably from those of traditional robots. These requirements are usually met well by compliant actuators, i.e., actuators which feature an elastic element. In this chapter, we explain how compliant actuators can solve the formidable actuation challenges inherent to wearable robots, with particular attention for their ability to improve energy efficiency.
