Magnetic Levitation
Abstract
This document has been prepared by a team of Mechatronics undergraduate student
to explain the concept of a new technology (Maglev) that involves lifting a body and suspending it mid-air using the very basic laws of physics and magnetism.
In this document you will be able to understand how the maglev technology works and how its implemented on a robotic arm. By explain the technology by building a small machete to demonstrate how to lift a metal object and sustain the levitation effect of the object using a control circuit that adjusts the strength of the magnetic field generated which is mounted in a later stage to an end effector of a robotic arm. Also, some of the applications and uses that can be applied within that field.
