Abstract
An original solution of a mechatronic rope-free elevator is presented in the article. The elevator cars in the proposed solution can travel in the shaft both vertically and horizontally, as well as in the two directions simultaneously. The elevator drive is based on a mechatronic planar positioning system with an aerostatic bearing. The conceptual solution of elevators used in vertical and horizontal transport is also presented in the work. The principle of operation of the mechatronic planar positioning system with the aerostatic bearing is explained. The directions of further studies are outlined.

Highlights
In the modern world, ever taller buildings occupying ever greater surface area are being built
After public or residential buildings are commissioned for use, elevators serve to transport people, goods, products, or even cars
Modern elevators differ on the exterior from those that were first invented and used in the XIX century, the principle of operation remains essentially unchanged
Summary
Ever taller buildings occupying ever greater surface area are being built. Modern elevators differ on the exterior from those that were first invented and used in the XIX century, the principle of operation remains essentially unchanged This principle is the movement of cabins between storeys of buildings on the vertical plane with the application of load-bearing tension members (lines, chains) [1, 2]. By analysing the results of certain studies conducted around the world in the scope of designing new elevator solutions [4,5,6,7,8,9], one can observe that engineers are focusing on developing rope-free systems to eliminate the problems listed above In most of these studies, the authors mainly focus on researching new algorithms for controlling elevator systems in multi-storey buildings. None of the proposed solutions for transport systems does not provide simultaneous integration of movement in two directions for a single elevator cabin, besides movement in the vertical and horizontal lanes
