Civil engineering device

A civil engineering device comprising:

• (a) a carrier device;
• (b) a kinematic chain comprising a plurality of movement links movable relative to one another and connected by way of joints or linear adjusters;
• (c) at least one positioner connected with a carrier device by way of the plurality of movement links;
• (d) at least six actuators connected with the movement links for changing a corresponding position or orientation of the at least six actuators;
• (e) a control and regulation device connected with the movement links for controlling the at least six actuators;
• and
• (f) a computer module connected with the control and regulation device;
• wherein the control and regulation device has an input module for specifying a target position of the at least one positioner;
• and
• wherein the computer module is set up for determining at least one displacement path for moving the at least one positioner along the at least one displacement path from a current position to the target position, and, using inverse kinematics, for determining locations of individual actuators of the at least six actuators required for implementing the at least one displacement path of the at least one positioner and for passing location information on to the control and regulation device so as to control the at least six actuators.
