Research Abstract	This research aimed to develop a modular robot system generating locomotion and control function in an identical structure, mainly focusing on the design of the module having simple mechanism for constructing a system realizing a series of effective functions. Furthermore, the design of sensor circuit formable by connection of the modules was also discussed with applying a net-structure sensor network circuit we have developed for information processing of multiple sensor elements.
