An auto-adjusting prosthetic ankle apparatus includes a base portion that is pivotally fixed to an attachment portion. The base portion is structured for being fixed to a foot blade, while the attachment portion is structured for fixing the prosthetic ankle apparatus to a lower leg portion of a prosthetic limb. The prosthetic ankle includes a computer controllable damping mechanism that is functionally and mechanically coupled between the base portion and the attachment portion. The damping mechanism enables a damping level to be selectively applied to lightly damp or heavily damp a relative motion between the base portion and the attachment portion as a user is walking to provide an auto-adjusting of the prosthetic ankle to changes in a ground surface being traversed and during various stages of a walking cycle.
