Abstract
A movement apparatus for objects configured for receiving an object from an infeed station and moving the object towards an outfeed station, comprising a movement surface comprising movement cells positioned on in a matrix fashion, positioned to operate with the object, wherein each movement cell has a direction of movement which can be individually controlled; a control system configured for defining a conveying trajectory in the movement surface for conveying the object from the infeed to the outfeed station; identifying trajectory cells belonging to the conveying trajectory and directing the direction of movement of each trajectory cell to move the object in the conveying trajectory; identifying, between the movement cells, convergence cells, defining a convergence zone adjacent to the conveying trajectory and, for each convergence cell, directing the direction of movement towards a central line of the conveying trajectory to maintain of the object inside the conveying trajectory.
