Abstract

A system provides a work surface, a configuration space unit, and a magnetic movement system. The work surface has a configuration space associated therewith. In this regard, the configuration space unit is positionable within the associated configuration space of the work surface. The magnetic movement system has unit cells arranged in cooperation with the work surface, where each unit cell comprises an actuator, a magnet coupled to the actuator such that the actuator causes movement of the magnet defining an actuated magnet, and an electromagnetic coil. Moreover, the magnetic movement system is configured such that a magnetic field produced by at least one unit cell performs at least one operation that affects a position of the configuration space unit within the configuration space of the work surface.
