N2 - This chapter details intelligent servo actuators for mechatronic systems with multi-degrees of freedom. The intelligent actuators are equipped with micro sensors and a micro controller, realizing local control functions of motion, force, and compliance, a communicating function, and a motion generating function. Three examples of intelligent actuators are described: (1) an intelligent electrical motor and its application to a snake-like robot; (2) pneumatic intelligent cylinders and their application to active polyhedron linkage mechanisms; and (3) a new control method, called multiplex pneumatic transmission drive, for pneumatic systems.
