Claim 12:
13. The knuckle boom crane, according to claim 1, further comprising a platform that is secured to the downstream end of the jib through a connector including a combination of at least two connector actuators including:
at least one first slewing connector actuator configured to generate a slewing motion of said platform with respect to said downstream end, about a yaw rotation axis that is parallel to said slewing axis of the knuckle boom, and
at least one second slewing connector actuator to generate a slewing motion of said platform with respect to said downstream end, about a pitch rotation axis that is parallel to the upstream knuckle axis and the downstream knuckle axis,
said controller being configured to pilot said at least two connector actuators of said connector, taking into account data coming from the motion reference system to actively stabilize said platform.
