  One best application would be that of a "multipurpose machine".
  
  it is something like this : consider a car, disintegrating into cubes, and then all the cubes re-assembling to form a 600cc motorbike.
  
  so something like an industrial robot which in one form can perform welding in one area, and inspection in another area, in a different form .

  This makes me think about the future of nano technologies applications in various fields: Especially Nanobots
