Abstract:
1. A device for actively moving people or objects in a flexible controllable manner, comprising: a base surface; a mobile surface on which the person to be moved or the object to be moved is located; at least one frictionless actuator which acts between the base surface and the mobile surface; at least one spring element coupling the base surface and the mobile surface, the at least one spring element being pre-tensioned such that a pre-tensioning force acts in opposition to a force generated by the at least one frictionless actuator so as to generate a restoring force; and a transmission, wherein the at least one frictionless actuator includes a pulling piston-free pneumatic actuator that lies with its longitudinal direction parallel to the base surface of the device, and wherein an action of a traction force of the pulling piston-free pneumatic actuator on the mobile surface is guided into the line of application using the transmission.
