Everyone is talking about Physical AI. Most people are watching the robots. We built the floor they move on.
As digitalization and embodied intelligence enter the factory, production systems need more than better perception and decision-making. They need a physical layer that can actually turn those digital decisions into motion — flexible, precise, and reconfigurable in real time. That physical layer is the conveyor. And that’s exactly where MagiFloater® starts.
What Is a “Physical AI Chassis”?
At CIIF 2026, “Physical AI” was the industry’s hottest topic — and most of the attention went to robots. But Physical AI doesn’t happen inside a single robot. In a production system, intelligence must ultimately become real changes in material movement, spatial position, and process state. That requires a foundation that can receive digital decisions and act on the physical world.
MagiFloater® is that foundation: a software-defined planar surface that carries material flow, connects process steps, and accepts real-time scheduling commands. Think of it as a “physical AI chassis” for industrial embodied intelligence — not a robot’s mobile base, but the motion platform underneath your entire production line.
The Demo That Ran 100+ Modules, Non-Stop
At CIIF 2026 (October 12–16, Hall 7.1 Robotics Zone), we ran a MagiFloater® system built from nearly 100 standardized stator modules, movers, drive & control systems, and scheduling software. For five days straight, multiple movers glided across a single plane — moving, rotating, positioning with precision, and actively adjusting their attitude — demonstrating:
- Modular scalability — nearly 100 modules working as one system
- Multi-mover coordination — real-time scheduling across the entire surface
- Long-term stability — continuous operation throughout the show, built for production, not demos
- Software-defined routing — reconfigure material flow without touching hardware
A 100-module system is not a scaled-up version of a single unit. At this scale, standardized expansion, real-time dispatch, and long-run reliability become the real engineering challenge — and the real proof of production readiness.

| Stator modules | Nearly 100 standardized modules, one system |
| Runtime | 5 days, continuous, multiple movers at once |
| Motion | 1D to 6D, including rotation and attitude adjustment |
| Repeat positioning | ±0.005 mm |
| Levitation height | Up to 5 mm |
Beyond Levitation: Conveying as a Production Strategy
The value of MagiFloater® isn’t just contactless levitation or eliminating traditional tracks. It’s that material flow becomes software — freely routed across a plane, working in sync with positioning, sorting, assembly, and inspection stations. Modular design means the system grows with your needs. The conveyor stops being infrastructure that merely connects workstations — it becomes a motion foundation that shapes your process layout and production organization. Change a product? Change the route — in software. No track disassembly, no mechanical rework, no downtime.
Proven. Recognized. Standardized.
Three years in the market. MagiFloater® has accumulated real customer applications across 3C electronics, biopharma, lab automation, and FMCG/cosmetics. Two milestones from CIIF 2026:
- CIIF Robot Award — honored for technical innovation, system maturity, and industrial value.
- GB/T 47930-2026 National Standard — China released its first general technical specification for magnetic direct-drive conveyor systems. RobustMotion is a drafting organization — and the only participant focused exclusively on the planar maglev technology path.
An award validates the product. A national standard turns practice into the industry’s common technical foundation. Both happened at the same show.
