This paper describes the development of a cellular machine which aims at solving problems of the present mechatronics technology. The cellular machine consists of homogeneous, modular and autonomous cells. Each cell autonomously behaves based on local information accumulated through local comnrunication. The cellular machine has several advantages. First, it is fault-tolerant, because it is higahly redundant and it can maintain its functions by logically reconfiguring itself even when some cells are faulty. Second, it can also be physically reconfigured by adding or removing some cells. Thus, it adapts to changes of the user requirements and the environment. Third, designing software for each configuration is not necessary, because no central software is needed to control the entire system. We designed and built a "Cellular Autonratic Warehouse" as an example, which demonstrated the advantages of the cellular machine.This paper describes the development of a cellular machine which aims at solving problems of the present mechatronics technology.
