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.
