A machine, functioning as a unit, is composed of a main module and at least one replacable module having an ID. The main module includes (i) an ID recognition unit programmed to receive ID information from each replacable module, and (ii) an action decision unit including a decision algorithm programmed to select an action based on preselected signals. The decision algorithm is adjusted based on the ID information. The at least one replacable module includes (iii) an ID information unit storing ID information identifying the at least one replaceable module, and (iv) an action actuation unit including an action algorithm programmed to actuate the at least one replaceable module based on signals from the action decision unit; wherein the main module and the at least one replaceable module are communicated via an interface. The decision algorithm provided in the main module is adjusted based on the ID information, so that proper control can always be accomplished adaptively to the used replacable module.

1. A machine, functioning as a unit, composed of a main module and at least one replaceable module having an ID, said main module comprising (i) an ID recognition unit programmed to receive ID information from each replaceable module, and (ii) an action decision unit comprising a decision algorithm programmed to select an action based on preselected signals, said decision algorithm being adjusted based on the ID information; said at least one replaceable module comprising (iii) an ID information unit storing ID information identifying said at least one replaceable module, wherein said ID information includes action threshold values at which predetermined actions are triggered, and said decision algorithm includes action thresholds which are updated by said action threshold values, and (iv) an action actuation unit comprising an action algorithm programmed to actuate said at least one replaceable module based on signals from said action decision unit; wherein said main module and said at least one replaceable module are communicated via an interface, one of the modules being provided with a detection unit programmed to detect a deviation of the actuated action from the selected action, and at least either of said action algorithm or said decision algorithms being modified in predetermined order based on the deviation, wherein when the action threshold values used in the decision algorithm are modified, the modified values are saved in the ID information unit of the replaceable module. 2. The machine according to claim 1, wherein said ID information includes minimum information to identify the module, and said ID recognition unit further comprises a memory storing (a) action profiles and action threshold values at which predetermined actions are triggered with reference to each ID, and (b) default profiles and action threshold values, wherein if the received ID is not new, corresponding information is retrieved from the memory, and if the received ID is new, the default information is used. 3. The machine according to claim 1, wherein said at least one replaceable module is at least two replaceable modules, and said main module further comprises an action coordination unit provided downstream of the action decision unit to coordinate actions of the respective replaceable modules, wherein said action actuation units receives signals from said action coordination unit. 4. The machine according to claim 1, wherein said main module further comprises and ID information unit storing ID information including profiles of said main module, and said at least one replaceable module further comprises and ID recognition unit programmed to receive ID information from said main module, wherein said action algorithm of said action actuation unit is adjusted by the ID information from said main module. 5. The machine according to claim 1, which is a robot wherein said main module is a body, and said at least one replaceable module is self-propelling legs, self-propelling wheels, or self-propelling caterpillars. 6. The machine according to claim 1, which is a robot wherein said main module is a body including a head provided with a sensing unit connected to the detection unit, and said at least one replaceable module is self-propelling legs, self-propelling wheels, or self-propelling caterpillars. 7. A set of replaceable modules set forth in claim 1, comprising self-propelling legs, self-propelling wheels, and self-propelling caterpillars. 8. A set of replaceable modules set forth in claim 1, comprising self-propelling arms having different power levels and different action threshold values.
