Delivery apparatus for autonomous system

This invention describes a system that moves items using magnets. A hidden moving part travels along a track on one side of a surface, like under a counter. This hidden part magnetically pulls an engaging unit on the other side of the surface, which then moves an item along the same path. The most specific version of this idea involves moving items across the top of a counter, pulled by a mechanism underneath.

Why it matters: The cost and accessibility of precise small-scale automation and magnetic control systems have significantly improved since 2018, making such an autonomous delivery system more practical for service industry applications.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateMechanical guide, magnets, motor control
