An active isolation device and method reduces the transmission of vibrations from interconnected elements. The device maintains a high stiffness between interconnected elements while actively reducing the transmission of relative movements, such as vibration. In one embodiment, the device uses accelerometers to measure the vibrations experienced by each of the interconnected elements and selectively operates an actuator between the two elements to maintain the position of one of the elements. In another embodiment, plural of the devices are used cooperatively to reduce the vibrations that would otherwise be transmitted from one element to a platform, permitting simultaneous control of multiple degrees of freedom of movement.
