A Mobile Machine is a machine that possesses independent movement capability (enabling location change and mobile operation).
- AKA: Moving Machine, Locomotive Device, Self-Moving Apparatus.
- Context:
- It can typically change Physical Location through mobile machine propulsion system.
- It can typically perform Task at mobile machine variable position.
- It can typically utilize Power Source for mobile machine movement generation.
- It can typically maintain Operational Integrity during mobile machine position transition.
- It can typically require Movement Control System for mobile machine directional management.
- ...
- It can often adapt to Environmental Condition through mobile machine terrain handling capability.
- It can often serve Functional Purpose beyond its mobile machine movement capacity.
- It can often interact with Physical Environment via mobile machine sensory system.
- It can often follow Operational Path using mobile machine navigation method.
- ...
- It can range from being a Simple Mobile Machine to being a Complex Mobile Machine, depending on its mobile machine technological sophistication.
- It can range from being a Small Mobile Machine to being a Large Mobile Machine, depending on its mobile machine size classification.
- It can range from being a Slow Mobile Machine to being a Fast Mobile Machine, depending on its mobile machine velocity capability.
- It can range from being a Manually Controlled Mobile Machine to being an Autonomous Mobile Machine, depending on its mobile machine control paradigm.
- ...
- It can enable Task Mobility through mobile machine positional flexibility.
- It can overcome Spatial Constraint via mobile machine location independence.
- It can support Operational Versatility with mobile machine deployment adaptability.

- Mobile Machine Transportation Types, such as:
- Counter-Examples:
- Stationary Machine, which operates at fixed location without mobile machine movement capability.
- Portable Device, which can be carried but lacks mobile machine self-propulsion.
- Tethered Machine, which has limited movement range due to fixed connection requirement.
- Temporarily Deployed Machine, which is positioned for operation but lacks mobile machine continuous mobility.
- Machine Component, which may move internally but does not provide mobile machine location change.
