Abstract We propose a novel technology in which multiple air jet nozzles are arranged consecutively along a conveying line and an object can be spatially relayed one after another. In this paper, as a most essential challenge for such an air jet conveyor system, we focus on an issue to spatially relay an object between a pair of air jet on a vertical plane. In order to develop this spatial relay control algorithm, together with the findings obtained in the planar air jet manipulation experiments we have studied in the past, we utilize new experiments on the behavior of an object when two air jets join in the air. Based on these preliminary findings, a new control algorithm which exploits the passivity of the COANDA effect as well as the active feedback control is proposed. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by the relay experiments with some payloads of various masses and sizes.
