Self powered machines were first used at the start of the industrial revolution. Tabulating machines were known to the ancient Greeks, such as the famous Ankylothera Device. The Romans, too, had contraptions that moved and worked much as we might imagine modern machinery might, though not driven by piston engines. Some of these, such as the catapult, were known as engines of war. The water wheel is considered a fairly crude machine, and can was used to grind grain or wash clothes.
Archimedes invented a "screw" for irrigating crops, another clever early machine. The clepsydra, a water clock, could also be considered a machine.
