Near-zero-power Control Method for High-throughput Non-contact Transportation Utilizing 2-DOF PM-biased Magnetic Levitator

The research team, led by Professor Jun Young Yoon from the Department of Mechanical Engineering (first author of this study is Eun Kyu Kim), has studied near-zero-power control method of the 2-DOF magnetic levitator during high-throughput non-contact transportation. It has been demonstrated that the proposed 2-DOF permanent-magnet-biased magnetic actuator can be utilized to reject the static and dynamic disturbance without nominal current consumption during non-contact transportaion, showing a significant potential for industrial applications where high-throughput transportation tasks are required in a non-contact manner. This research has been published in the renowned international academic journal 'IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics' in Feburary 2024.
