Transformative Heavy Load, Low Power Magnetic Levitation System
US Positronix (USP) has developed a levitation system that transports packages, cargo, people, robots, and equipment throughout a warehouse or factory safely and cost effectively, providing a fully integrated and autonomous logistics solution that is both lower cost and more flexible than existing autonomous mobile robot (AMR) systems. USP’s levitation system provides warehouse and fulfillment center owners the ability to maximize profits, while creating a safe, worker friendly environment
Platform Technology:
A Mobility Platform for Robot Manufacturers and Automation System Integrators
DEFINITIONS
Tiles
Modular, 1m electromechanical systems that provide the magnetic forces needed to levitate and transport movers (levitated objects). Tiles can be interconnected to create a larger levitation zone.

Movers
Non-powered structures which magnetically interact with underlying tiles to levitate and move. Movers can be interconnected to increase their size, and load capacity. Standard movers are designed to carry a cargo of boxes, crates, cases, or cartons.
Mobile Platforms
Movers that are designed to levitate and transport people or robots are called mobile platforms.
