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.

What you are describing is the Goliath CNC:

didn't really make it over the long haul.

The Shaper Origin seems more successful:

The Shaper Origin looks pretty awesome, but for that kind of money you are quickly getting into true precision machines.
