To add, it is more "to move heavily" - it has a negative correlation to agility and speed.

Cars don't trundle, overloaded trucks do.

Yes, and most of the robots I've seen tend to have a certain heavyweight chunkiness to them. I assume to keep them firmly planted and stable when around humans, lest they be knocked down and left unable to move.

Trundle seemed appropriate.
