semimóviles

Semimóviles is a Spanish adjective and noun used to describe objects, organisms, or systems that are partially mobile or intermittently movable. The term is descriptive rather than a strict technical category, and its precise meaning depends on the context.

In biology and ecology, semimóviles refer to organisms that do not fit neatly into fully sessile or highly mobile groups. They may move only occasionally or rely on external forces for relocation rather than sustained locomotion. The label is used for organisms or life stages that exhibit both stationary and mobile behaviors.

In engineering and robotics, semimóviles describe mechanisms or devices with both fixed and movable elements, or systems capable of limited relocation. This can include machinery mounted on a movable base, robots with constrained travel, or modular assemblies designed to reconfigure without becoming fully mobile.

In other domains such as architecture, urban planning, or legal discourse, semimóviles may be used informally to denote fixtures or assets that are not permanently fixed yet are not readily movable by a single action. The term remains a flexible label rather than a precise technical classification.
