Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for seamless disengagement of shuttles powered by electromagnets. An example system may include a frame coupled to a track, a first conveyor disposed along the first side of the track, a second conveyor disposed along the second side of the track, and an actuator configured to drive the first conveyor and the second conveyor, where the first conveyor and the second conveyor are configured to engage a first bar disposed on a lower surface of the shuttle. The system may be configured to (i) move the shuttle from a first location along the track to a second location along the track, and (ii) pause movement of the shuttle between the first location and the second location.
