A Smart Transport Robot System consisting of two robots: the Transportation Robot and the Stacking Robot with Robot Arm. These robots collaborate and communicate with each other to efficiently perform automatic chair transportation tasks with predefined patterns.

The system contains the Modular Chair Loading/Unloading Stacking Software System and Algorithm. With the ability to collaborate and perform tasks autonomously, it streamlines chair-moving operations.
The Transportation Robot is capable of carrying up to three modular chairs. It can securely hold the chairs in position and transport them to designated locations. The robot operates in two modes:

Collaboration Mode: The Transportation Robot collaborates with the Stacking Robot with Robot Arm to perform automatic chair transportation tasks.

Standalone Mode: The Transportation Robot can autonomously follow a person and accompany them around the campus.
