Toyota has developed a 3.3 feet high monopode robot (a robot with just one leg) that can jump like a human (er, a human with one leg...) without the use of a motor using a special joint in its "toe." The robot was developed to prototype the jumping action required for running, which will presumably be put to use in future bipedal robots.
