Abstract
A system for conveying an industrial robot includes: a control module, at least one automatic guided vehicle, and at least one electromagnetic base. An industrial robot is installed each electromagnetic base, which may attract a metallic plate fixed to the ground, thereby fixing the industrial robot installed on the electromagnetic base. An electromagnetic base is configured to, according to a first control instruction sent by the control module, stop attracting the metallic plate so that the industrial robot is movable. An automatic guided vehicle is configured to, according to a second control instruction sent by the control module, convey, to a target position, the industrial robot installed on the electromagnetic base that has stopped attracting the metallic plate. Finally, an electromagnetic base is further configured to, according to a third control instruction sent by the control module, attract the metallic plate fixed to the ground in the target position.
