  "textContent": "Systems and methods are disclosed for contactless direction of sortation shuttles along a track. An example system for contactless direction of sortation shuttles may include a track having a linear path, and a curved path that intersects the linear path. The system may include a shuttle with a first ferrous block and a second ferrous block, the shuttle configured to move along the track, and a first set of electromagnets disposed along a side of the curved path. Electromagnets of the first set of electromagnets may be configured to be individually energized. Energizing the first set of electromagnets may cause the shuttle to merge onto the curved path via interaction with at least one of the first ferrous block or the second ferrous block.",
