A device for moving an object comprises a base and a platform able to receive the object; six supports each having an upper end connected to the platform and a lower end connected to the base and an actuation device connected to at least three of the supports. The upper end and lower end of each support in combination have at least five degrees of freedom. The actuation device is suited for giving predefined periodic movements to said at least three of the six supports, these three supports being called controlled supports, thus giving a periodic movement to the platform relative to the base with at least three degrees of freedom.
