Hi everyone
I'm cutting wood on my robot and I have to relocate the robot
How can I achieve this without my projects gone?
If the calibration setting is broken, what problems will it cause me?
Are there any features to carry the robot? thanks

what kind of robot?
Moving KUKA robot generally does not cause data loss but it is conceivable that someone creative may somehow get around that.
Tool settings would remain the same unless it gets damaged or bent.
If the new location is same shape and size, workspaces and soft limits can remain the same.
Bases will need to be remeasured.
Before relocation, get robot documentation and check transport instructions. Move robot into transport position. Check documentation for your robot type for correct position and lifting points etc.
If robot cannot be moved into transport position because you do not feel like removing tooling, make sure that both robot and tooling are properly secured to the transport crate. Robot must be bolted down and transport crate cannot be something flimsy that will get torn and fall apart. The best way is to use original shipping pallet on which robot was delivered from the factory.
If tooling is not removed, it can cause stress on the robot arm due to weight and vibrations. That must be avoided by using proper additional support and anchoring.
Mastering should be fine unless transport is rough or robot is hit or dropped. if mastering is lost, use EMD to master robot again. Actually if possible, i would master robot anyway every time robot is relocated or new application is deployed.

"Relocate" how? Are you moving it a few meters, or several kilometers? Are you concerned about your projects losing position accuracy, or actually being deleted?
What model robot?
A properly parked&shipped robot should not lose calibration, but obviously you should make thorough backups before shipping.
Every robot model has a different set of "lift points" that need to be used to pick it up, and a specific "shipping Pose" where it will balance properly. There should be a sticker on the robot arm that shows these.
Robots, and especially controllers, need to be secured properly for shipping, and need to be well-cushioned. I've seen controllers arrive on-site with broken solder joints on the main board because someone bolted them to a pallet on a normal truck with no Air Ride or shock cushions padding the controller.
