Multi-membered actuated kinematic system

A multi-limb actuated kinematics device, comprising:

• a plurality of drive units connected to one another as a serial kinematic chain, the plurality of drive units each operably coupled to a control unit designed to actuate at least one drive of the plurality of drive units to carry out movement of one of the plurality of drive units, the control units of the plurality of drive units being connected to one another by a first data line such that the control units transmit signals and are designed to receive at least data configured to operate the drive via the first data line, the control units of the plurality of drive units further operably connected to one another via a supply line;
• and
• a connecting element connected to the drive unit at one end of the serial kinematic chain, the connecting element including at least one data processing unit selected from an image recording unit and a control unit, the control unit of the connecting element being connected to the first data line, which serves to transmit data for controlling the data processing unit, the control unit of the connecting element further being connected to a second data line, which serves to transmit data of the data processing unit, the control units of the drive units further being connected to one another by the second data line such that the control units transmit signals, and are designed to transmit the data of the second data line, and the data processing unit is adapted to operably couple to an energy source such that a supply voltage is generated in a control unit within the actuated kinematics.
