TLDR
The position control of a pneumatic levitation system uses visual feedback to compute the object position, which can be modified by means of an air blower acted by a variable-speed drive.Abstract:
The position control of a pneumatic levitation system is described in this paper The control system uses visual feedback to compute the object position, which can be modified by means of an air blower acted by a variable-speed drive The system is employed as a test bed of control strategies A performance comparison attained by a classical PID, a robust Hinfin control law and a fuzzy controller is carried out, including tracking and disturbance rejection experimentsread more

Design of a Low-Cost Air Levitation System for Teaching Control Engineering
TL;DR: This work presents a low-cost lab implementation of an air levitation system, based on open solutions, that can be optimized and, with some precision trade-off, kept affordable both in cost and construction effort.

DextAIRity: Deformable Manipulation Can be a Breeze
TL;DR: A self-supervised learning framework that learns to effectively perform a target task through a sequence of grasping or air-based blowing actions, which allows the system to apply dense forces on out-of-contact surfaces, expands the system’s reach range, and provides safe high-speed interactions.

Experimental Study of Nonlinear PID Controllers in an Air Levitation System
TL;DR: The results verify that, in addition to the PID controller in its classic form, several non-linear modifications can be considered to cope with different control needs, such as optimization on the number of control actions, or go beyond the restrictions that linearity impose on the performance that can be obtained by a PID controller.
