The present invention relates to multi-limb actuated kinematics (1) having a plurality of drive units (11-16) connected to one another as a serial kinematic chain, the drive units (11-16) respectively having a control unit (11b, 12b, 16b), which are designed to operate at least one drive (11c, 12c, 16c) of the drive unit (11-16) to carry out the movement of the drive unit (11-16), the control units (11b, 12b, 16b) of the drive units (11-16) being connected to one another by a first data line (A.sub.10, A.sub.11, A.sub.12, A.sub.13, A.sub.16, A.sub.17) such that they transmit signals and being designed to receive at least data for operating the drive (11c, 12c, 16c) via the first data line (A.sub.10, A.sub.11, A.sub.12, A.sub.13, A.sub.16, A.sub.17). The multi-limb actuated kinematics (1) are characterised in that the control units (11b, 12b, 16b) of the drive units (11-16) are further connected to one another by a second data line (B.sub.10, B.sub.11, B.sub.12, B.sub.13, B.sub.16, B.sub.17, B.sub.19) such that they transmit signals and are designed to forward the data of the second data line (B.sub.10, B.sub.11, B.sub.12, B.sub.13, B.sub.16, B.sub.17, B.sub.19).
