Back in late 1990s I saw a NASA paper on this. They intended to add 'flotor' magnets to large satellites in the Space Shuttle bay, then use coils to manipulate them in free fall. Rotate/translate massive loads w/joystick, no need for Shuttle robot arm!
The hall-feedback "Maglev Cradle" on Amasci com was actually my testbed for exploring this, but I never did more than levitate various alnico rod magnets. (I was going to use neutral bouyancy water tank, allows low-wattage drive amplifiers.)
