A third arm is arranged for influencing the platform in a third movement. A control unit controls the movements of the platform. The first and second arms are arranged rotatable in such way that the platform is movable between opposite sides of a second plane passing through and continuously following the first and second carriage. The control unit includes a control adapted to upon command perform a reconfiguration of the platform and the arms of the robot.
