Ambulantis
Ambulantis is a term used in speculative contexts to describe entities—either living organisms or autonomous machines—that rely on continuous mobility as a primary mode of interaction with their environment. The word draws on Latin ambulare, meaning to walk, and the suffix -antis, which in some fiction and thought experiments is used to designate agents or processes. The term is fictional and not an established scientific classification, but it appears in discussions of mobility as an ecological or functional trait.
In speculative biology, ambulantis organisms are imagined to possess advanced locomotor adaptations enabling long-range foraging, migration,
In robotics and science fiction, ambulantis refers to legged or legged-wheel platforms designed for sustained mobility
Ambulantis as a concept serves as a thought experiment to investigate how mobility shapes survival, interaction
