A robotic prosthetic foot having an elastic body according to the present invention comprises: a coupling module which is coupled at the top thereof to a user's limb part; a prosthetic foot module which is coupled to the bottom of the coupling module and supports the load of the user so as to enable the user to walk; and a joint module which is provided in the coupling module so as to allow the prosthetic foot module to be rotated, wherein the joint module includes an elastic unit which is compressed and expanded by the prosthetic foot module rotated according to the user's walking to generate elastic restoring force and thus facilitate the rotation of the prosthetic foot module. 본 발명에 따른 탄성체를 갖는 로봇의족은, 상부에 사용자의 지체부위가 결합되는 결합모듈과, 상기 결합모듈의 하부에 결합되고, 사용자의 하중을 지지하여 보행이 가능하도록 하는 의족모듈 및 상기 결합모듈에 구비되어 상기 의족모듈이 회전 가능하도록 하는 관절모듈을 포함하고, 상기 관절모듈은 사용자가 보행함에 따라 회전하는 상기 의족모듈에 의해 압축 및 팽창되어 탄성복원력을 발생시켜 상기 의족모듈의 회전이 용이하게 이루어지도록 하는 탄성유닛을 포함한다.
