    Abstract: The system comprises: control servers, transport robots, and workstations, the workstations comprising working areas and waiting areas. The control servers are configured to determine a target container to be transported, a first transport robot and a second transport robot that transport the target container, and a target workstation that operates the target container in response to a system task, plan walking paths for the first transport robot and the second transport robot, and send transport instructions to the first transport robot and the second transport robot. The first transport robot is configured to transport the target container from a storage area to a waiting area of the target workstation according to a planned walking path in response to a transport instruction, place same in the waiting area of the target workstation, and wait to execute other transport instructions.
