1. A cookware handling system comprising:
a first set of electromagnets;
a second set of electromagnets;
with each of the respective set of electromagnets having respective gripping mechanisms;
a cookware;
a ferritic sleeve directly mechanically attached to the cookware;
a controller;
a relay; and
an external power supply,
wherein, the system is configured to picking and transferring the cookware, and is further configured to:
activate the first set of electromagnets to grip and position the ferritic sleeve and the cookware in a handshake position;
to subsequently deactivate the first set of electromagnets and to release the ferritic sleeve and the cookware in a new position;
to activate the second set of electromagnets to grip the ferritic sleeve and the cookware in the handshake position and to move the gripped ferritic sleeve and the cookware to a desired position; and to then deactivate the second set of electromagnets; and
wherein; gripping of the cookware with the ferritic sleeve is affected by an electromagnetic force generated by friction between the respective sets of electromagnets and the cookware.
