I wonder if it’s possible to have a purely portable system like this. So no cables, just omnidirectional wheels and maybe some wireless locators in the corner of the room. It would need to correct for wheels losing traction, slope etc.

This one is relatively portable; everything is self-contained on the sled. It just needs four anchors points, and it'll auto-detect where they are in relation to each other during the calibration process.

A lot of users just have 4 concrete anchors on their garage floor, and they put the sled away in a drawer somewhere when not in use.
