The present application provides a cargo transport method, an apparatus, a server and a transport robot. The cargo transport method provided in an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a step of acquiring position information and empty slot position information of a robot; and a step of assigning a second transport task to the robot based on the location information, the empty slot location information and a first target location included in a first transport mission, wherein one of the first transport mission and a second transport mission is a cargo pickup mission, and the other one includes a return mission. Accordingly, it is possible to set a transport strategy flexibly and pick up a cargo while returning the same during a cargo transport process, thereby effectively improving the cargo transport efficiency. 본 출원은 화물 운반 방법, 장치, 서버 및 운반 로봇을 제공한다. 본 실시예에서 제공하는 화물 운반 방법은, 로봇의 위치 정보와 빈 슬롯 위치 정보를 획득하는 단계; 위치 정보, 빈 슬롯 위치 정보 및 제1 운반 임무에 포함된 제1 목표물 위치를 기초로, 상기 로봇에 제2 운반 임무를 할당하되, 여기서, 상기 제1 운반 임무와 상기 제2 운반 임무 중 하나는 화물 픽업 임무이고, 다른 하나는 반환 임무인 단계를 포함한다. 이로써 유연하게 운반 전략을 설정하여, 화물 운반 과정에 화물을 반환하면서 픽업할 수 있으므로, 화물 운반 효율을 효과적으로 향상시킨다.
